What is the narrator point of view in the collection, A Manual For Cleaning Women?

The point of view of the collection shifts from story to story. Thirty-six of the forty-three stories are in first person. The woman narrating the stories varies in age from a teenage girl to a middle-aged woman to an older woman.

The remaining seven stories are in third person. The stories use versions of the same female character throughout. The only male narrator appears in “Let Me See You Smile”, which employs an alternating narration in which the other narrator is female. This story is also in the first person.
