Vertigo: A Memoir, Vol. 1
Louise DeSalvo is an Italian American woman raised in Hoboken and then later in Ridgefield (both in NJ). Born into a working class family (with seriously working class values), DeSalvo traces through her childhood and eventual adulthood, using her mother and her sister as points of return. The narrative loops around a few issues, hence the namesake of the book, and it is when DeSalvo relates her experience of viewing "Vertigo" as a teenager that the story's momentum picks up and the narrative begins to unfold in a dynamic way.
I think this book does a great job of bringing a working class, feminist voice to the table and shows how a less-than-privileged person can achieve her goals and startle her peers and those around her. (Great sentence, right?)
