"This book is for all of the women who were taken advantage of by men in power. Women who were used and then vilified. Langbein includes excerpts every few chapters about female saints and martyrs that show the history of women who were wronged by men"

Dear Monica Lewinsky:
"All hail Saint Monica! I wholeheartedly agree that, similar to the woman portrayed in the snippets we get throughout the book who were persecuted for refuting the advances of men throughout history, Monica was another woman in a long line of women th"

"I love the concept of this book and couldn’t resist picking it up. Woman, haunted by the memory of an inappropriate relationship with a former teacher, revisits her memories (with the help of Saint Monica Lewinsky, no less) to attempt to free herself"

"I hate to say it, but I found this book really disappointing, which is a shame. I was really looking forward to it because I thought it would have interesting commentary about women being shamed and turned into pariahs and martyrs for their sexuality"

A beautifully illustrated story about post-industrial Americ…ooops, I mean "A New Korean Folktale." This is a triple threat: gorgeous, painterly colors; a kid-saving-the-day-with-majestic-animals storyline; and a simple reminder of what we have gotten ...more |

“There are certain children who are told they are too sensitive, and there are certain adults who believe sensitivity is a problem that can be fixed in the way that crooked teeth can be fixed and made straight. And when these two come together you get a fairytale, a kind of story with hopelessness in it.
I believe there is something in these old stories that does what singing does to words. They have transformational capabilities, in the way melody can transform mood.
They can't transform your actual situation, but they can transform your experience of it. We don't create a fantasy world to escape reality, we create it to be able to stay. I believe we have always done this, used images to stand and understand what otherwise would be intolerable.”

“Possessing a creative mind, after all, is something like having a border collie for a pet: It needs to work, or else it will cause you an outrageous amount of trouble. Give your mind a job to do, or else it will find a job to do, and you might not like the job it invents (eating the couch, digging a hole through the living room floor, biting the mailman, etc.). It has taken me years to learn this, but it does seem to be the case that if I am not actively creating something, then I am probably actively destroying something (myself, a relationship, or my own peace of mind).”
