Magnolia : A Journal of Women's Literature

This collection marks the first in a new series dedicated to socially engaged writing by women. Hundreds of submissions were reviewed by a series editor, before being passed to a guest editor for final selection. Gayle Brandeis's choices include the traumatic story of a mother's loss in a clandestine border crossing, a child whose life has been stunted by the futurstic device she is stored in on a daily basis, the unionization of a light bulb factory in pre-World War II Chicago, and many more. Featuring new and established voices, this diverse collection will open your eyes, challenge your thinking, and break your heart.
