The Book of Bad Betties 
by Vanessa Kisuule (Editor), Anja Konig (Editor)
 
The poems in this book pay tribute to the women who've changed our lives, globally or personally. The fighters, survivors, rebels, queens, bosses, mentors, mothers, lovers and friends.
 
'By far the most exciting, questing and innovative anthology of woman-centred poetry released in recent years. It reminds me of The World Split Open, and the great feminist anthologies of the 1980's. Rich, irritable, joyous this book is both intimate and expansive. Beautifully written, exquisitely edited and curated, The Book of Bad Betties is an essential addition to the contemporary literary canon.' Joelle Taylor
 
'This anthology is a joy. A gallery of pen-portraits by some of the most exciting poets around, whose mates, mums, icons, teachers and 'dearest bitches' fill the pages with life. From Leonora Carrington to Maryanne on the Waitrose till, I've rarely encountered so many wise, subversive, glorious women in one book.' Clare Pollard
