Feckless Cunt: A Feminist Anthology

by Susan Rukeyser (Editor)

Samantha Bee said a bad word! The worst word.

She was scolded by the same pundits and politicians who helped lower the bar to the dirt for acceptable Presidential behavior. Donald Trump tweeted that Bee should be fired for her "horrible" language. It was not that this moment of hypocrisy was worse than all the others. But it was a moment of ENOUGH.

The 55 pieces of poetry and short prose gathered in Feckless Cunt: A Feminist Anthology offer a powerful, multifaceted response: how it is to live in our time, in this sexist culture. Feckless Cunt is about what we carry and will now set down, what we've held off saying but want you to know.

Edited and Introduced by Susan Rukeyser.
