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.
