'For a time, it seemed that a great storehouse of women's treasure had been forever lost; the stories of heroines who had awoken to the call to adventure, and faced down challenges, in order to bring the gifts born through their trials into the world. The Heroines Anthology its stories before time began. It travels alongside some of the forgotten women of history, and imagines itself all the way into the unknown territory of our future world. With a focus on reimagining the heroines of legend, fairytale, and mythology in ways that are both resonant and startlingly new, The Heroines Anthology presents a challenging and soulful collection of short fiction and poetry by women writers that interrogates the traditional power dynamics of classic literature, while touching on the deeper questions of women's true nature.' (Publication summary)
