Overview

This international anthology marks a world-historical moment: the first ever feminist revolution. The slogan chanted by the demonstrators in Iran is Woman, Life, Freedom, and it encompasses hopes and ideals for all people everywhere. This anthology echoes that cry. The poems here might be reflections on the present moment, denunciations of injustice, examinations of the poet's own conscience, laments for the fallen, bitter curses, prayers, celebrations of life, and visions of a better future. Bnoo and Cy aim to raise awareness of the women's revolution in Iran and show the world that this cause is alive and will not be put down.

""In short: Woman Life Freedom is an astonishing, riveting, galling, inspiring, infuriating, sickening, saddening, beautiful collection of poetry. For me, anyway, it is a testament of life against one of its great enemies: religion."" --Daniel James Sharp, The Freethinker
