Sleeping with One Eye Open: a gem of an anthology

I highly recommend this book as a collection of strong, creative women's writing. Essential for lovers of literature.

Uplifting and Educational

This book is a must-read by writers, those who would write, and those interested in human studies. It is particularly empowering for writers who struggle for time to write, the required solitude of the writer's life, the pervasive lack of attention by culture to poetry and literature, and the lack of sympathy or empathy from family and acquaintances. These varied essays are also testimonies for the human spirit. An uplifting as well as educational read.
