Permission Not Required: Poetry and Prose for Kickass Women (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798370073946)

Permission Not Required is a book for, and about women of all ages. Each piece examines the many roles of women in today's society, both forced, and self-assigned. Through a deep dive into a variety of relationships, the cycle of health and illness, the progression of aging, the spectrum of self-discovery to self-care, and some of the speedbumps of regret, misogyny, assault, and interpersonal turmoil, Permission Not Required helps to navigate through the bumpy waters of what it means to be a woman today.

Each of the seven chapters, In Pursuit, Piecemeal, Knowing When, Magic Is as Magic Does, Listening Intently, Vignettes, and Unbridled walk the reader through moments of questioning, coping, tragedy, and triumphs. Included are issues for all women, regardless of age, race, or sexual orientation. Also, hear from a range of women in the Vignettes chapter about overcoming loss, heartache, and fear.

There are always those that want to muffle the voices and extinguish the experiences of women. This book sidesteps the clanging gong of noisy voices, and helps women focus on the most important voice, the quiet voice within. From a whispered mantra of hope in poems like, "Magic is as Magic Does," to a raucous yawp for equality in, "Unbridled," and finally in the exuberant solidarity in, "Grit," Permission Not Required will have you crying, laughing, and cheering to the very last page.
