Editorial Reviews


One of those rare, rare books that pick your life up, turn it around and point it in the right direction.

--K.T. Maclay


Every woman owes it to herself to look up Particular Passions--borrow the volume from your public library. Or, better still, buy it and put it with your favorite novel or poetry collection to sustain you.

--Pioneer Press and Dispatch


Tantalizing glimpses into the lives of women who have not only made a living at their own "particular passion," but have become well known, even world renowned, for doing work they love.

--Christian Science Monitor


This is a wonderful book. The book is recommended reading for anyone -- no matter what political or sociological background -- who wants to know more about living history.

--Santa Cruz Sentinel


I have never enjoyed an oral history book more than this one.
