(Applause Books). I Am A Woman is a journey, not through time so much as through realms of consciousness expressed in the haunting voices of some of literature's most powerful women. Together, on the page or in performance, these voices weave a powerful and haunting tapestry. Each woman's struggle permeates another's triumph, and each triumph rings with the irony of its passing. Here is a repertoire of the heart. Among the selections: Pentimento * Diary of Anne Frank * Lady Chatterly's Lover * A Conversation Against Death * The Liberated Orgasm * Little Girl My Stringbean My Lovely Woman * Dance of Death * In My Mother's House * The Madwoman of Chaillot * Lovers and Other Strangers * Misalliance.

"Exiled, displaced, tortured, and grieving - each of the five Iraqi women whose lives and losses come to us through Haifa Zangana's skillfully wrought novel is searching in her own way for peace with a past that continually threatens to swallow up the present. Majda, the widow of a former Ba'ath Party official who was killed by the government he served. Adiba, a political dissident tortured under Saddam Hussein's regime. Um Mohammed, a Kurdish refugee who fled her home for political asylum. Iqbal, a divorced mother whose family in Iraq is suffering under the effects of Western economic sanctions. And Sahira, the wife of a Communist politician, struggling with his disillusionment and her own isolation. Bound to one another by a common Iraqi identity and a common location in 1990s London, the women come together across differences in politics, ethnic and class background, age, and even language." "Weaving between the women's memories of Iraq and their lives as exiles in London, Zangana's novel gives voice to the richness and complexity of Iraqi women's experiences. Through their stories, the novel represents a powerful critique of the violence done to ordinary people by those who hold power both in Iraq and in the West."--Jacket.

This anthology is a collaborative effort in giving a voice to remarkable women who have struggled with pain, sorrow, disappointment and life challenges. Yet, they are able to stand in their power and stay focused on their dreams and desires. They have built doors when they were faced with a wall. It is our hope that the future generations know they are worthy and capable of moving mountains.

The Heroine’s Journey describes contemporary woman’s search for wholeness in a society where she has been defined according to masculine values. Drawing on cultural myths and fairy tales, ancient symbols and goddesses, and the dreams of contemporary women, Murdock illustrates the need for—and the reality of—feminine values in Western culture. This special anniversary edition, with a new foreword by Christine Downing and preface by the author, illuminates that this need is just as relevant today as it was when the book was originally published thirty years ago.
