Sinopsis

Poet-dramatist Cindy Williams Gutiérrez explores the global oppression of women&mdash,and testifies to their resilience&mdash,in over 20 countries around the world. Based on real-life incidents ranging from Brazilian &ldquo,honor killings&rdquo, and Indian sati to Ireland&rsquo,s Magdalene Laundries and &ldquo,Mississippi appendectomies&rdquo, to rape as a weapon during the Rwandan genocide, this poetry collection bears witness to the sociocultural forces that have waged war on women&rsquo,s bodies, freedom, and humanity. Now, in the #MeToo era, these poems both underscore and expand the conversation on the diminishment of women, reverberating across all continents and through 43 centuries. Inlay with Nacre is herstory&mdash,the plight of Woman as bride, wife, mother, and daughter&mdash,and a call to action to restore the Feminine in the world.áá
