You Can't Keep a Good Woman Down: Stories Kindle Edition by Alice Walker

 Book Excerpt

"Women stand their ground in the midst of crisis in this story collection by the New York Times–bestselling author of The Color Purple. 

This collection builds on Alice Walker's earlier work, the much-praised In Love & Trouble. But unlike her first collection of stories, the women in these tenderly wrought tales face their problems head on, proving powerful and self-possessed even when degraded by others—sometimes by those closest to them. But even as the female protagonists face exploitation, social asymmetries, and casual cruelties, Walker leavens her stories with ample wit and, as always, an eye for the redemptive power of love."

"You Can't Keep a Good Woman Down" by Alice Walker

My Review:  

'You Can't Keep a Good Woman Down' was a wonderful collection of short stories that you will find some interesting reads from 'demise, myths, and mistreatments.'  Some of the stories are very powerful, as they will leave one a lot to ponder over long after the read.
