This is a book that has been waiting to be written since, perhaps, the nineteen-seventies, when
women at last began to play a serious part in the world of poetry. These images of women are
images of women by women, constructed out of twenty-first century consciousness, unmediated by
the male gaze.

HUNDREDS OF WOMEN HELPED SHAPE THIS BOOK. The Second Light Network of women poets invited
submissions which came in their thousands. The result is a sometimes painful, sometimes wry and
amusing, no-holds-barred portrait of women's lives - but, above all, these poems offer, in their
fine making and strong content, a potent proof of the creativity and vision of women poets
writing today.
