For others, home offers intimate and rewarding opportunities for self-expression, becoming a reflection of taste, values, and even identity. The activities of constructing and maintaining a home can provide a sense of existential purpose, of belonging to a particular place along with others who have cared for that place before.</p><p>Illustrated with more than 100 color photographs, <i>A Home of Her Own</i> showcases a wide variety of homes and tells the stories of their making.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>A wolf in sheep's clothing--Betty Friedan disguised as Martha Stewart--A Home of Her Own is a set of radical tales in female empowerment posing as a diversion for ladies who lunch.</p>-- "WFIU Artworks"<br><br><p>A Home of Her Own is a collection of stories of women and their homes, the connections and relationships they have with their spaces and the work they put in to making it happen.
