Writing Fire: An Anthology Celebrating the Power of Women’s Words

by Jennifer Browdy (Editor), Jana Laiz (Editor), Sarah Bateson Brubeck (Editor)

Writing Fire celebrates the power of women’s words with a wide-ranging exploration into the voices and visions of women of all ages, from many walks of life. From teens to seniors, from new mothers to great-grandmothers, this collection is brimming with the kinds of stories that have always been told around kitchen tables, but have not always made their way into print and the public sphere. Drawing on the collaborative energy of the Berkshire Festival of Women Writers, which celebrates Women’s History Month with an outpouring of events designed to showcase and nourish women’s creative expression, Writing Fire offers an intimate window into the strengths, passions and perspectives of 69 inspiring and unforgettable women.
