Fifty Reflections on Women, Power and Identity
University of Edinburgh/ Unbound
Including the essay "Dangerous White Woman!" by Pegi Eyers, the anthology "Dangerous Women" has been published in the USA as of March 7, 2023~! Asking "what does it mean to be a dangerous woman?" This powerful collection presents fifty answers to that question, reaching past media hyperbole to serious considerations on the conflicts and power dynamics that women experience today.
Writers, artists, politicians, journalists, performers and opinion-formers — including Irenosen Okojie, Jo Clifford, Pegi Eyers, Bidisha, Nada Awar Jarrar, Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and many more — reflect on the long-standing idea that women, individually or collectively, constitute a threat. In doing so, they celebrate and give agency to the women who have been dismissed or trivialized for their power, talent and success — women who have been condemned for challenging the status quo. They reclaim the right to be dangerous~!
"The wide-ranging selections—which touch on ambivalence about maternity, the legacy of South African pop star Brenda Fassie, and the difficulty of getting a divorce in India—are rich with history and testify to the numerous ways women across the globe are challenging the patriarchy. Invigorating and incisive, these essays provide food for thought." (Publishers Weekly)
