Long before Suzanne Collins created Katniss Everdeen and Octavia Butler wrote 'Parable of the Sower', there were many traditional folktales full of adventure, intrigue, and intrepid female characters. Feminist Folktales from Around the World collects these forgotten classics.
Volume on the series, 'TATTERHOOD' features an introduction by Gayle Forman, the 'New York Times' best-selling author of 'If I Stay'. These 12 tales from Japan, Norway, Scotland, Sudan, and more celebrate the cunning, hard work, and physical strength of their heroines. Here, a family of three women teaches a burly man how to wrestle, a girl battles a fearsome bear, and a young mother rescues her village from an elephant's stomach.
