Publisher Description: A collection of first-person poetry and prose designed to break the observant Jewish community's taboo against open discussion of female sexuality "A loud and needed contribution to the Jewish feminist library... A great step forward in our work towards a Jewish world where women's experiences and voices are heard and valued." "Truly inspiring. This brave collection explores the tension between religious norms and the lived experience of young Jewish women." "Courageous, heart-breaking, passionate, honest, so vividly transcribed that these poets and storytellers seem to be baring their souls." "Should be required reading for men, all men." |
