How Dirty Girls Get Clean: An Anthology of Wicked Woman Writes, Art and Subversive Scholarship This irreverent anthology of women's work features a diverse collection of art soldiers including: Joan Jobe Smith, Tamara Madison, Puma Perl, Reverend Jen Miller, Fiona Helmsley, Lydia Lunch, Jennifer Blowdryer, Ann Wood, Roxy Cotin, Hulga McSwine, Rene Diedrich, Dominique Lowell, Alicia Adams, Joie Cook, Misty Rainwater, Nico Turner, Amy Wood, Iris Berry, and many more. In sagas of debauchery and redemption, these women write what they are not supposed to with wit and relish. Adorned by intoxicating images, the short fiction, poetry, essays and rants within its pages are compelling evidence that an iconoclastic new movement in literature and feminism has emerged. The shrill, sexless screech of women's studies departments will soon be silenced, that dead-white-dude-bashing dubiously disguised as scholarship will be dismissed and the feminist backlash will realized by the efforts of the voices of an independent woman who lives on her own terms. This is an important book with substance, fresh academic perception and insight long overdue. It is also sex, drugs, rock and roll. Impossible to ignore, much less put down, we dare you not to look between the covers.

Rene Diedrich and Fiona Helmsley both have colorful pasts that are buffered by an unrepentant bookishness. They know that reading is sexy, but it has also been their salvation. They met on myspace.com several years ago and struck up a rather torrid friendship. While one lives on the West Coast and the other on the East, they have managed to pull this book together, a story well worth telling one day, and they have not only forged a bond with one another, they have found many friendships and a few foes in the course of this endeavor.
