Volume two of historical short stories of strong women, co-edited by Kay Smith-Blum, Carolyn Korsmeyer, Elaine Schroller, Christy Matteson, and Kimberly Sullivan. As Prairie’s Book Review put it: “Across lands and centuries—Ireland to Europe, Renaissance courts to wartime Pacific islands, Appalachia to Ontario—the stories serve up scarce meals, secret herbs, handed-down cures, and poisons brewed in silence to form the book’s heartbeat. With each act, women protect, resist, sacrifice, or seize control. The anthology moves between tenderness, darkness, and the mythic, yet each story centers a woman acting with purpose despite her era’s constraints.”
