Nevertheless, She Persisted: A Book View Cafe Anthology
Nevertheless, She Persisted: A Book View Cafe Anthology | Vonda N McIntyre, Mindy Klasky, Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff
6 posts | 4 read | 1 to read
"She was warned. She was given an explanation. Nevertheless, she persisted." Those were the words of Mitch McConnell after he banned Senator Elizabeth Warren from speaking on the floor of the United States Senate. In reaction to the bitter partisanship in Trump's United States of America, nineteen Book View Cafe authors celebrate women who persist through tales of triumph-in the past, present, future, and other worlds. From the halls of Ancient Greece to the vast space between stars, each story illustrates tenacity as women overcome challenges-from society, from beloved family and friends, and even from their own fears. These strong heroines explore the humor and tragedy of persistence in stories that range from romance to historical fiction, from fantasy to science fiction. From tale to tale, every woman stands firm: a light against the darkness.

This authors collective is having a 50% sale off of ebooks today! Seems to be largely speculative fiction. Time to stock up on Le Guin!

(Oddly enough, I read a flash fiction anthology with this title and I don't think it's the same one. I guess it was a popular idea. Oh wait, I just remembered I read *both* of them, for a #URC prompt of two books with the same title! The other one (Charlie Jane Anders) was better.)

I recently re-read this collection of essays and was again astounded by the bravery, courage, & strength of the women who authored these stories. I‘ve included a picture of a quilt that I saw at the modern quilt guild in Pasadena CA several years ago. The artist quilted this by having women write the words “nevertheless she persisted.” It was breathtaking and timely. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Same, Erin. Same. 👻😄

Really enjoying this collection of short stories so far. I‘m 1/3 through the collection and all have been hits so far. Hopefully there are no (or very few) misses!

ErinGoBragh1011 I need to read this if for no other reason than us sharing the same name. 5y

Mehso-so

(This is the wrong book title.. this is a review for Nevertheless WE Persisted by Amy Klobuchar (and others). (#netgalley ARC) This is a collection of essays by a wide variety of people geared for YA. Some are (much) better than others. I was expecting it to be all women‘s stories, but it is not, and that‘s okay. I do think this book could have done with some better selection but many of the stories were very moving.
