stories for women

Description
Settle in for a round of tales, each focusing on different women. The stories collectively portray women in various circumstances undergoing experiences that forge character and personality. Except for Alice in "The Mole", all the women are nameless, symbolically suggesting each is every woman. Throughout the stories, the women show a need for security, love, romance, and adventure, and they exhibit admirable qualities of independence, strength, determination, and loyalty. Only Alice in "The Mole" displays mean qualities of greed, pride, and arrogance. She is clearly not every woman.
Barbara begins this CD with "We all love stories... We each hear what we need to hear." And so it is with Ladies' Night Out, a collection of five diverse stories, each focusing on a woman. The "need to hear what we need to hear" begins with the title, so don't be mislead by the whimsical, tongue-in-cheek, even serious, Ladies' Night Out.
