Reviews
[Furies addresses] the full panoply of 'isms' such as racism, ageism, heroism, terrorism, and classism, all congregated under feminism
A collection of wild works by wild women is the perfect tribute to Virago's impact and legacy
Spell-binding . . . these vivid works of imagination are further proof that, back in 1973, Virago's founder Carmen Calil was on to something
This anthology is all killer, no filler
Definitely where power and feminist rage meet
A collection of dazzling stories, as inventive as they are inspiring
Some are historical, some are infused with the mystical and magical, some have threads of fierce commentary and some are laugh-out-loud funny. All of them fizz with energy, meaning and page-turner plots
A slick collection of clever tales, with something for bluestockings and banshees alike
