"Shannon Waite immerses us in a world of lipstick, catcalls, and blurry nudes, mining girl-and-womanhood to uncover its rough gems, cracking open their possibilities."
—EMILY COSTA, author of Girl on Girl "Every one of us as rebellious teen girls who grew up into 'unhinged' (read: uncontrollable) women. Read it to remember who we are." —ELIZABETH ELLEN, author of American Thighs "Shannon Waite traces how girls and women are shaped by hunger and by the uneasy gift—and grift—of tenderness... a gutsy, feral, and necessary vision sharpened by a voice that insists on naming itself." —SELAH SATERSTROM, author of Slab and The Meat and Spirit Plan "The Women is raw and gritty in all the ways that it aims to be. It's also beautiful in its heartbreak, true in the ways its women transcend the transgressive realities they almost always face." —PETER MARKUS, author of When Our Fathers Return to Us as Birds |
