Reviews
This anthology is all killer, no filler
A slick collection of clever tales, with something for bluestockings and banshees alike
Some are historical, some are infused with the mystical and magical, some have threads of fierce commentary and some are laugh-out-loud funny. All of them fizz with energy, meaning and page-turner plots
Delightful and thought-provoking
Spell-binding . . . these vivid works of imagination are further proof that, back in 1973, Virago's founder Carmen Calil was on to something (Kiran Duggal)
A collection of dazzling stories, as inventive as they are inspiring
A collection of wild works by wild women is the perfect tribute to Virago's impact and legacy
Some stories are historical, some are infused with the mystical and magical, some have threads of fierce commentary and some are laugh-out-loud funny. All of them fizz with energy, meaning and page-turner plots
Definitely where power and feminist rage meet
[Furies addresses] the full panoply of 'isms' such as racism, ageism, heroism, terrorism, and classism, all congregated under feminism
