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.
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, sixteen 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.
