Today we are proud to announce the next stage of the Dangerous Women Project: three books gathering together some of our favourite contributions!
The first is titled The Art of Being Dangerous: Exploring Women and Danger through Creative Expression, and focuses on feminist visual and literary art. It was released in May 2021 from Leuven University Press. The book is available to order in the UK from Amazon : https://www.amazon.co.uk/Art-Being-Dangerous-Exploring-Expression/dp/9462702721/. International readers can order from Leuven University Press: https://lup.be/book/the-art-of-being-dangerous/.
The second is titled Dangerous Women: fifty reflections on women, power and identity. Edited by Jo Shaw, Ben Fletcher-Watson and Abrisham Ahmadzadeh, it was released on 3 March 2022.
We have chosen 50 of our favourite pieces, and brought them together into a manuscript. We present biographies, cartoons, poems, short stories, essays and more, by some of the most exciting female voices from around the world. We have welcomed poets, playwrights, academics, journalists, historians, artists, performers and opinion-formers, and indeed anyone with an angle on the theme, to reflect on the danger of females.
The fifty selections have been fully revised and updated, and details of almost 350 more pieces from the project are included in the book. You can purchase Dangerous Women: fifty reflections on women, power and identity here: https://unbound.com/books/dangerous-women/
The third book, Women Who Dared: From the Infamous to the Forgotten is edited by Ben Fletcher-Watson and Jo Shaw. It will be released in September 2025 from Edinburgh University Press: https://edinburghuniversitypress.com/book-women-who-dared-pb.html
