What happens when women step out of line and take control of their own stories? Big fears, small frustrations, and the power of hope collide as seven award-winning authors explore the possibilities.

“Six talented narrators deepen and enliven this diverse collection of stories about women asserting their freedom and demanding power over their lives - whether in the past, present, or future. Seven authors offer their own takes on a range of related themes, exploring feminism, choice, liberation, and reproductive justice…. Every narrator brings something unique to this thought-provoking and moving audiobook. Listening to the words of female authors brought to life by female voice actors makes for a powerful listening experience.” --Booklist
“Featuring prominent contemporary authors and a host of professional actors and performers as narrators, the collection is an intriguing exploration of female agency.” --AudioFile Magazine
