Words for Women

<p><em>Words for Women </em>is a collection of poems about reclaiming language. From the ancient Greeks' Harpy and Medusa to today's Housewife and Drama Queen words with negative or sexualized connotations have been assigned to women and pejoratively used by people to diminish women and girls. <em>Words for Women</em> takes those terms and through the sound rhythm and intent of poems demonstrates how they have been used and how they can be reclaimed as part of a journey to equity and wholeness.</p><p><br></p>
