My Review:-I haven't read to many Anthologies, but the ones I have read, I've enjoyed. Here we have a selection that have been translated into English for the first time, from all over the world. We have women from Ukraine, Sardinia, China, Chile, Egypt and far afield.  We also have some from well known American and English authors...Virginia Woolf, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Katherine Mansfield, Zelda Fitzgerald...The book has something for everyone, short stories, poems and essays. At the back of the book you can read a little bit about each author, they is also a section About the Translators. I loved how you can pick up, read a few pages and put back down. I did like 'Coming Home' by Maria Messina and 'Broken' by Nataliya Kobrynska.
