Typical Girls

Feminism is redefined for the approaching millennium with this new collection of vibrant fiction from a group of female writers that include Poppy Z. Brite, Jennifer Belle, Guinevere Turner, and many others. These women display fierce wit, deadpan insight, and deeply affecting verbal dexterity in this one-of-a-kind anthology. This network of female fiction ranges from adolescent angst revisited to the harsh realities of the squatting life, from tales of overweight schoolgirls to dreams of outer space. Often funny and always relevant, this is a brash and disparate collection that speaks to single mothers, schoolgirls, Riot Grrls, radical feminists, and all women in between.
