Yarns of a Feminist Grandmother

By Carol Fox

Two central decisions  – firstly to become a mother and secondly to step back to look after her elderly mother – shape the author’s life. She stands fast behind the choices she has made with both moral courage and integrity, often in the face of opposition from the patriarchy in its many guises. Heart warming, uplifting and funny these books share an unconventional journey, unique life choices and the celebration of the freedom to tread a different path. Dealing head on with the dilemmas and sorrows of women’s lives Yarns celebrates determination and survival. And the importance of hope. The author argues that success in life is about doing our best for those we love, living in accordance with our principles and valuing what truly matters – families in all their diversity.
