WOMEN. PERIOD.
Edited by Julia Watts, Parneshia Jones, Jo Ruby and Elizabeth Slade

The anticipation of getting it for the first time... The confusion when it first arrives… The embarrassment of starting it when you're wearing your new white pants… The relief at its arrival when you feared you might be pregnant... The disappointment at its arrival when you hoped you might be pregnant…

Perhaps the most universal of female experiences, menstruation is a fact of life for women of all cultures, ethnicities, and sexual orientations. Yet surprisingly little writing has been published on the subject. In this groundbreaking anthology, women writers—both established and emerging voices—share poetry, essays, and short fiction that explores the monthly cycle which unites us all as women. Period.

THE KIND OF GIRL I AM

Born in a dreary Kentucky coal camp during the Great Depression, Vestal Jenkins uses her one natural resource—her extraordinary beauty—as her ticket out of poverty.

Vestal's bawdy adventures include a brief period of religious piety, a loveless but lucrative marriage, an unsatisfactory stint as a shop girl and a financially rewarding foray into the world's oldest profession. This last venture leads Vestal to find her true profession—as the madam of the most notorious brothel in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Spanning decades, The Kind of Girl I Am humorously explores the changing sexual and social mores of the South and depicts an extraordinary woman's experiences of triumph, heartbreak, friendship and forbidden love.

WOMEN'S STUDIES

It is the fall semester of 1990, and three students - all with the first name of Elizabeth - are on the roll for Professor Angela Rivers’ Women in Literature course at William Blount University. Like so many college students, each of these “Elizabeths” is on a journey of self-discovery which will determine the course of the rest of her life.

With humor and heart, Women’s Studies follows one school year in the lives of these three young women and shows that in college, one’s extracurricular activities are often much more educational than what goes on in the classroom. Funny and romantic, sexy and insightful, Women’s Studies captures a time in women’s lives which is full of freedom, passion, and discovery.
