Furies

Boasting a spectacular array of literary talent including Margaret Atwood, Kamila Shamsie and Ali Smith, Furies reclaims traditional terms of misogynist abuse and transforms them into a collection of intensely powerful stories for our time.

DRAGON. TIGRESS. SHE-DEVIL. HUSSY. SIREN. WENCH. HARRIDAN. MUCKRAKER. SPITFIRE. VITUPERATOR. CHURAIL. TERMAGANT. FURY. WARRIOR. VIRAGO.

For centuries past, and all across the world there are words that have defined and decried us. Words that raise our hackles fire up our blood; words that tell a story.

In this blazing cauldron of a book, fifteen bestselling, award-winning writers have taken up their pens and reclaimed these words, creating an entertaining and irresistible collection of feminist tales for our time.
