Poetic voices of about 60 different women of the 1960s, '70s, and '80s. Poignant, stabbing, sensual, painful, shocking, harsh, delightful, emotional, raw, powerful, and soul-wrenching. Reaches into the depths of woman's soul, exposing what is very familiar, yet kept hidden, perhaps even to ourselves. A feminist library is now incomplete without this volume of poetry. Recommended for every feminist, those who love poetry and those who don't.

This is a wonderful book. It should be in every library. Forget the gender or women's lib implications, these are beautiful works of poetry.

I discovered many good poems, by women, in this collection, which was in excellent condition. Both men and women should read the book, and if you're a male and you're a writer of poetry, you should certainly have a few collections by women in your personal library and this book should be among them. Good read.
