Description

Angela Carter's Book of Wayward Girls and Wicked Women is a provocative and subversive collection of stories that celebrates the female virtues of discontent, sexual disruptiveness, and bad manners. These tales, written by a diverse range of authors, including Ama Ata Aidoo, Jane Bowles, Colette, and Katherine Mansfield, among others, share a common goal: to restore adventuresses and revolutionaries to their rightful place as models for all women. The result is a collection that is both intelligent and anarchic, with stories that celebrate toughness and resilience, as well as low cunning and unapologetic bad behaviour. This collection is a testament to the enduring power of female voices and the importance of challenging societal norms.
