Product Description

Synopsis
This is a smart and subversive celebration of female anti-heroes. "Bitch Lit" features women who take the law into their own hands, who defy society's expectations, put their own needs first and don't feel guilty. It features characters that give Lady Macbeth, Imelda Marcos and Narnia's Snow Queen a run for their money. All these stories, in one way or another, are tales of women and power. They goad us and dare us to strip off our niceness, leave our safe haven, and go out into the dark woods knowing that the most dangerously sublime thing to be encountered in that forest is ourselves unleashed.

5.0 out of 5 stars B is for bravo, 11 April 2007
By NB (Middlesbrough, UK) - See all my reviews
I find the concept of women doing bad things fascinating. All of our lives, we're told that we should be good, and if we aren''t, karma will come and bite us on the bum.

The female anti-hero is lacking in most books(and many art forms) , so when I stumbled across this, I HAD to read it. Besides the cover, which is just lovely, I felt compelled to find out what other women think about being a woman, a real woman, a flawed woman, as at the moment, I'm halfway through writing a novel, in which, the main female character is so flawed and selfish that I've had agents tell me that there isn't a market for bad women who show no remorse. (Of course, there seems to be infinite appetite for vapid chick lit with weedy characters and unbelievable situations, but that's another story.)

This shows that there is a market, and there are lots of fantastic (mainly northern) writers who can flesh out characters that range from the mundane to the ridiculous, in stories that had me laughing out loud and willing myself to read faster so i could find out what happened at the end.
