Here are twenty four short "new folk tales," with folk tale characters like hags, crones, fae, women alone or misunderstood or unhappy, a dreaming girl, and women seeking inspiration. In each short tale the character either finds a new way to see her world and life, or cannot. Each story suggests a situation and how it might change through thinking in a way that celebrates "woman" and does not see her as a lesser human, subject to traditional lives or prejudices. A charming collection of imaginative stories, bound to make you reach for your true self in spite of what the world says for you....
