These female-authored stories, spanning almost 150 years, follow brave, unconventional heroines as they face foes and approach crossroads in their lives. Featuring a refreshing array of religions, neuro-ability, sexuality, and ethnicity, the anthology's serious, sexy, funny, and exhilarating tales offer underrepresented points of view in historical fiction. An author's note with further information is appended to each tale.
