Three women from working class Jewish, African-American, and Irish-American backgrounds connect across their differences through storytelling and conversation. Now college professors, the authors discuss how their identities have been shaped by their cultural heritage as well as the impact of class on their educational experiences. The spiritual dynamics of academic work are also explored. The authors are Frida Kerner Furman (religious studies, DePaul University), Elizabeth A. Kelly (women's and gender studies, DePaul U.), and Linda Williamson Nelson (anthropology and writing, Richard Stockton College of New Jersey).
