This time, they speak for themselves.Long represented in the words of men, a group of iconic literary women reclaim their identities by finally telling their own stories. Raised in a society that denied their voices, these women have snatched them back.From a woman unfairly propositioned to one trapped by convention… from women cornered into ruin to those endangered or killed prematurely – the so-called muses have their say. And they are no longer shy about telling their side of the tale.In this stunning reimagining of seminal poems across centuries, the women within come alive on the page. Their lived experiences unfold in their own powerful words and images.Be quiet? Not anymore. This collection gives voice to the voiceless and upends outdated representations of womanhood – once and for all.
