Title: Couageous and ground-breaking
Review: While all the pieces in this book are exciting to the contemporary female reader ,in Daniell's signature piece, "The Deer Who Loved to be Hunted: a Reflection on James Dickey's Women", she delineates power relationships between men and women using her own relationship with her former mentor and lover, poet James Dickey. As an example, along with in depth interviews and reflections of the experiences of a number of other women who were a part of the late poet's life, another interesting-and recent-essay is "I Wrote about Sex and Got Called a Whore": in this piece, Daniell describes the libel suit she brought against the BOMC, which was successfully settled in her favor. In the piece she describes, why she considered pursuing this lawsuit a strongly feminist endeavor: indeed, she raises the question, "Would a male writer ever be called a gigolo because he had written honestly about sexuality?" This is one of the most inspiring books I've ever read!
