Wild Women

Whether a mother, wife, sister, daughter, or lover, every woman has a wild side. She does not need wings or a halo to fly. Many women who have had their primal selves stifled by restrictive societies have formulated strategies for coping with the consequent denials and expectations, and they have been passing these formulae among themselves for centuries, through writing. In this collection of classic and contemporary female weiters akin to Women Who Run with the Wolves, the independent, unconventional woman is glorified as an icon of liberation by both women and men. Featured writers include: Margaret Atwood; Lucy Taylor; Joyce Carol Oates; Ursula K. Le Guin; Jane Yolen; Connie Willis; Carole Nelson Douglas; Lisa Tuttle; Kate Wilhem. Nancy Holder; This fine literary anthology offers a glimpse into the soul of the unbridled woman in her element; the literary images are complemented by telling illustrations by Jill Schwartz. A must for readers of any sex.
