Satellites Out of Orbit
Section I: Epistles
epistles written by Eve, Cain's wife, Noah's wife, Delilah, the Queen of Sheba, Mary, and others - as if they were feminist
Section II: Myths
the myths within the myths revealed - what might Pandora, Circe, Penelope, Eurydice, Persephone, the Gorgons, and others have thought and done if they had not been the creations of a chauvinist patriarchy?
Section III: Letters
letters that might have been written by Lady Godiva, Milton's daughter, Rubens' model, Mozart's mother, Freud's wife, Plato's students, and others - assuming a feminist consciousness
Section IV: Soliloquies
soliloquies delivered by Juliet, Ophelia, Lady Macbeth, Kate, Desdemona, Regan, Miranda, and others - protesting the role given to them by Shakespeare
Section V: Fairy Tales
the classic fairy tales retold - what would have happened if Gretel, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and others had been strong and critical girls and women living today?
...an excellent and much recommended pick for unique fiction collections. Michael Dunford, Midwest Book Review
