Shattering Glass: A Nasty Woman Press Anthology

by Heather Graham, Kelli Stanley, Valerie Plame Wilson

Synopsis

Shattering Glass is the first in a series of remarkable anthologies published by Nasty Woman Press, a unique non-profit publisher founded to help fund other organizations threatened by the rise of autocracy and the ongoing war against civil and human rights in the United States. A scintillating mixture of top-flight fiction from bestselling authors in multiple genres, fascinating articles, and thought-provoking essays, conversations and interviews, Shattering Glass takes as its theme the empowerment of women, with all profits from the book donated to Planned Parenthood.

"Shattering Glass is an anthology of fascinating stories by and about women of all ages, from a satisfyingly diverse array of backgrounds. The insights and observations are moving, often poetic, and always compelling. This is a book to cherish and one you'll read and reread for years to come."
--Marcia Clark, New York Times bestselling author

"Shattering Glass is an anthology unlike anything I’ve seen before, a diverse collection of high-caliber short fiction, provocative essays, and engaging conversations and interviews, tied together thematically by the writers’ collective commitment to create work that explores our current cultural moment. Opening with Valerie Plame’s fiery call for political engagement and closing with Heather Graham’s poignant reflection on the values instilled by her immigrant parents, this collection surprises and enlightens. Your inner Nasty Woman will approve.”
--Alafair Burke, New York Times bestselling author of The Better Sister


"...the best anthology ever produced in the history of the United States--at the exact moment we need it most. You say you want a revolution? Buy ten copies."
--Cornelia Read, Edgar-nominated author of A Field of Darkness
