“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
