o
Girls Who Bite Back is a Sumach Press anthology about women who fight back in popular culture. It contains work by 34 contributors and was edited by
Emily Pohl-Weary.
Girls Who Bite Back is like a disco ball, breaking down the popular image of the female superhero into glittering shards and reflecting it back through a fractured lens. It takes apart the buxom sidekick and reconstructs her as a sturdily subversive lead. Pohl-Weary has used her powers for good.
--Wendy Banks, Now Magazine
