about women's
lives today

The title of this play, from the familiar children's
game, derives its significance from the immigrant
grandmother's button jar, filled with buttons that evoke
visions of her long and arduous life.
The buttons are symbolic of the experiences of women
from all walks of life as they reveal themselves in the
play. Although the play deals with serious issues, it
also presents a joyous affirmation of womanhood. It can
serve as a catalyst for discussion in women's groups and
gatherings.
