A poetry collection all women, all stories from some of the bravest, history changing female voices. For many [female poets], the act of publishing poetry was a rebellion in itself the author says. But they did not stop there, for many have written poetry that was fiercely political and took action as well! A collection that will provide the perfect escape in this difficult period in all of our lives. But also a source of courage for any activist stuck at home right now. I am loving it so much, I am already excited about her new collection coming out later this year, She Will Soar.
