Fifteen award-winning, bestselling authors have written original stories embodying the spirit of Virago: feminist, fearless, fun, wild and defiant of convention. Some stories are more relatable than others but each one as beautiful and interesting because it celebrates our being, our existence. Megaera, Tisiphone and Alecto are The Furies: motorcycle riding Goddesses of revenge, kicking ass and celebrating the feminine divine. Hachette Australia acknowledges and pays our respects to the past, present and future Traditional Owners and Custodians of Country throughout Australia and recognises the continuation of cultural, spiritual and educational practices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
The characters were fully fleshed out, and the characters' inner conflicts were really well portrayed. Churail” by Kamila Shamsie - pakistāniešu folklorā balstīts maģiskā reālisma stāsts, kurā tēvs mēgina aizbēgt uz Londonu no būtnes, par ko varētu pārvērtusies mirusī sieva (bet vai saknes ir iespējams nogriezt? I absolutely adore this author's Greek myt A compelling, entertaining and thought-provoking collection that showcases brilliant writing through a broad range of different styles and approaches. She decides to teach her class of problematic fifteen-year-olds about Greek drama and in a series of distinctly improbable conversations that takes up most of the first hundred pages, they discuss plays plays by Sophocles, Aeschylus and Euripides.
The members of this knitting circle include Scylla, the many-headed sea monster, among other mythical females, such as Grendel’s mother and Arachne. The collection is introduced by Sandy Toksvig who brings her trademark humour and wit to open this collection and starts it off right. The contents page reads like the answer to that popular mind game: Who would you invite to dinner, if you could invite anybody?

And in The Furies Parker finds himself fighting to protect two more women as the city of Portland shuts down in the face of a global pandemic, but it may be that his clients are more capable of taking care of themselves than anyone could have imagined . The Dragon Demon, Bune, was left in command when Sorath escaped and is busy killing innocent young women on the surface.She is the author of more than thirty-five volumes of poetry, children’s literature, fiction, and non-fiction and is perhaps best known for her novels, which include The Edible Woman (1970), The Handmaid's Tale (1983), The Robber Bride (1994), Alias Grace (1996), and The Blind Assassin, which won the prestigious Booker Prize in 2000. Shamsie has the most interesting and unexpected label, taking on the Churail, an Urdu word for a mournful, ghostly harbinger.
Excellent read that did truly get to the heart of me – and a heads up, if you are lucky enough to have a copy with the added bonus of a short essay from Ms Haynes as an afterword talking about why the Greek Tragedies are perfect in conjunction with todays teenagers then make sure you give that a read when you are done. Angels of Vengeance is a fantasy adventure full of violence, morbid humor, an unsuspecting detective, and three sister goddesses out for revenge.As Toksvig says, it is writing that will make every reader rethink their relationship with their own bodies. In The Furies, Elizabeth Flock examines how three real-life women have used violence to fight back, and how views of women who defend their lives are often distorted by their depictions in media and pop culture.
It is a delicate, magical meditation on menopause and, indeed, many of the difficult, unarticulated bits and pieces of womanhood. Her background is in theater and she takes a teaching job at Rankeillor Street, a place for children who have been kicked out of previous schools. She then spends lessons discussing character and situation without apparently actually reading the text with them in class, but expecting them to do this for homework, which of course most of them don't do (surprise!There is one class - a group of five teenagers - who intimidate Alex and every other teacher on The Unit. The stories are all synonyms for 'virago' which means 'a domineering, violent or bad tempered woman.
