Advised by an older black woman to think of the example of Jesus Crist when being abused by the whte mob she and her little classmates had to walk through to attend school, Ruby, a six-year-old black girl, replied, "But... Jesus Christ was a man." She went on to e xplain the distinctions between the choices men and women have in confronting their enemies. That moment planted an irrevocable awareness in the Coleses, as they explain in their introduction: "The issues confronting her were not only racial... She was a girl, and by that fate her life was also circumscribed." "WOMEN OF CRISIS" IS AN UNFORGETABLE COLLECTION OF JPORTRAITS OF FIVE ORDINARY AND EXTRAORDINARY WOMEN. A migrant farm worker, a woman from Appalachia, a Chicana of San Antonio, an Eskimo woman and an unnamed white maid who works in Cambridge, Massachusetts."
