Radicals, Volume 1: Fiction, Poetry, and Drama: Audacious Writings by American Women, 1830-1930 by Meredith Stabel, Roxane Gay, Zachary Turpin
5.0
I received an ARC from NetGalley and The University of Iowa Press in exchange for an honest review.
“writing is a radical act because literacy has always been a privilege rather than an inalienable right for marginalised people.” -Roxanne Gay
This was a fantastic anthology showcasing so many women I’ve never even heard of before. Some whose writing had been lost to time until this anthology.
Unfortunately some of the topics written about so long ago are still present today, including voting rights, the right to autonomy over ones own body etc.
This was such a moving and still so relevant anthology and I’m so grateful that it exists.
I can’t wait for volume two, you can bet I’ll snap it up !
5 stars!
