Summary: Great Poetry - Wonderfully Selected
Comment: The editors offer an extensive introduction detailing the selection process along with information about the lives of the poets.
I enjoyed the poems from the very oldest to the more modern poems. What amazed me was the ability these poems to unite woman in different times and of different circumstance. I especially appreciate that the original text was provided, as I am a student of the Italian language.

Summary: Oh God, This is So Bad
Comment: Worst collection of poetry in the history of the world. Open it anywhere, and you'll laugh aloud and triteness, political correctness, and nonsense.

Summary: An inspiring complation.
Comment: This is a remarkable and thorough collection of strong poetry. It touches on issues relevant to all women including: our relationship with our mothers, our need for love and compassion, our beauty, our strength, our desire to be heard, and the how frequently we are (and have been) misunderstood throughout the ages. As Dacia Maraini states in her poem, "Poems By Women", 'And to be a woman/means to know her own state of subjection,/it means to live and breathe the humiliation/and self-contempt that can be overcome/ only by painful toil with black tears.' This is an excellent book for anyone interested in Italian or feminist writing.
