Signed First Edition, First Printing. "Inscribed and dated (2 May 12) by the author Terry Tempest Williams in black ink on the front side of the title page. When Women Were Birds is a carefully crafted kaleidoscope that keeps turning around the question: What does it mean to have a voice? In fifty-four short chapters, Williams recounts memories of her mother, ponders her own faith, and contemplates the notion of absence and presence art and in our world." Condition: Very Good. Very little wear. Just some very light bumping to parts of edge of dust jacket. ISBN: 9780374288976
