Dangerous Women by Jo Shaw

What, really, does it mean to be a dangerous woman? This powerful anthology presents fifty answers to that question, reaching past media hyperbole to explore serious considerations about the conflicts and power dynamics with which women live today.In Dangerous Women, writers, artists, politicians, journalists, performers and opinion-formers from a variety of backgrounds - including Irenosen Okojie, Jo Clifford, Bidisha, Nada Awar Jarrar, Nicola Sturgeon and many more - reflect on the long-standing idea that women, individually or collectively, constitute a threat.

'Rich with history and testify to the numerous ways women across the globe are challenging patriarchy.. Invigorating and incisive, these provide food for thought' Publishers Weekly

'A powerful example of interdisciplinary and intersectional feminism, and readers of Rebecca Solnit, Roxane Gay, or Carmen Maria Machado will savor these 50 unique perspectives' Booklist
