The poems in this book are powerful. They are written from a Jewish woman’s perspective. They are deep and I had to read several of them a few times to get their meanings. There are many references to feminists and women’s issues.

Robin Morgan is a giant in the feminist community, but few realize that she is a gifted poet. One who captures the contradictions and beauty of life.
