This is a book that has been waiting to be written since, perhaps, the nineteen-seventies, when women at last began to play a serious part in the world of poetry. These images of women are images of women by women, constructed out of twenty-first century consciousness, unmediated by the male gaze.

HUNDREDS OF WOMEN HELPED SHAPE THIS BOOK. The Second Light Network of women poets invited submissions which came in their thousands. The result is a sometimes painful, sometimes wry and amusing, no-holds-barred portrait of women's lives - but, above all, these poems offer, in their fine making and strong content, a potent proof of the creativity and vision of women poets writing today.
