- Summary:
- "Other Girls to Burn is a collection of formally inventive essays that explores the relationship between women and violence, from the Santa Barbara shooting to 13th century virgin martyrs, mixed martial arts, true crime, and rape culture. What does it mean for women to be complicit in the violence of the patriarchy? How do women navigate risk as well as revel in thrill? What does it mean to both fear and perpetuate violence? The essays in this collection are in conversation with contemporary nonfiction writers such as Maggie Nelson, Sarah Manguso and Anne Boyer. These formally inventive, lyric-leaning essays shift between cultural criticism and personal essay. The book coheres around a central motif of female mystics"-- Provided by publisher.
