Covering everything from love and freedom to protest and body images, dip in and embrace words of beauty on a daily basis. Plus, it's a beauty to hold. * Stylist *
this is a collection to stir the blood and resonate in the bones. * Guardian *
A deeper celebration of female wordsmiths you'll struggle to find -- Cyan Turan * Red *
Women sometimes get overlooked in poetry anthologies, but She is Fierce more than makes up for it. * Independent *
it would make a wonderful gift for any feminist reader or writer * For Books Sake *
If you know a poetry lover then this new and beautiful collection would make a perfect Christmas gift! * Of Beauty and Nothingness *
An outstanding collection of poetry for teenagers by a host of women writers, from Maya Angelou to Elizabeth Bishop. Lots of teen friendly topics are included - from growing up to friendship and courage. Ideal for the young feminist in your family. * Irish Independent *
I use this wonderful collection with my teen writing club, it's a perfect blend of political, personal, witty and wise poetry [...] An outstanding collection, highly recommend * Irish Independent *
The title is also fantastic! The reference to Shakespeare's line from A Midsummer Night's Dream, 'Though she be little, she is fierce', captures the defiant power of the collection and the subtitle's simple alliteration sums up the whole aim: 'Brave, bold and beautiful poems by women'. As a secondary school teacher, the books I review come to me at work and often sit on my desk where the students see them and this particular one garnered lots of attention from boys and girls alike. It's bold orange colour and the beautiful simplicity of its cover beg for it to be read. and many students, who wouldn't usually open a collection of poems, were compelled to thumb through and pick out a favourite. A fantastic celebration of female wordsmiths which deserves to be in our classrooms and on our bookshelves -- NATE * Teaching English *
A poetry collection - all women, all stories from some of the bravest, history changing female voices. For many [female poets], the act of publishing poetry was a rebellion in itself the author says. But they did not stop there, for many have written poetry that was fiercely political and took action as well! A collection that will provide the perfect escape in this difficult period in all of our lives. But also a source of courage for any activist stuck at home right now. I am loving it so much, I am already excited about her new collection coming out later this year, She Will Soar. -- Angels and Witches
