"The studies herein elevate the humble, examine the small domestic detail, set forth the praiseworthy in the everyday, seek joy in the ordinary, capture the comfort in the community of women and their collaboratieve atempts to define their worlds."—Journal of American Folklore

"Almost anyone concerned with women's studies of folklore will find something of interest in this collection of essays. From the dynamics of narration among women in a variety of settings to an ethnographic analysis of a quilting bee and examination of gender differences in joke telling, the essays are uniformly provocative and groundbreaking."—Library Journal
