Reviews for DES Daughters
“DES Daughters is a pleasure to read. In addition to Bell’s sensitivity and intelligence, she brings the reader close to the people she writes about—we get to know the women in the book and their stories come across very lively and sympathetically.”—Phil Brown, Professor of Sociology and Environmental Studies, Brown University
