A Collection of Essays on Women Gathering
Women have gathered for thousands of years. Frequently in circles, often around a fire, women have come together to tell stories, teach, worship, celebrate and mourn. We have gathered to collect and trade food and materials. This gathering has been critical to our survival and has ensured knowledge about various traditions, cultures, lands and people has been passed on from one generation to the next.
Throughout history, women have been persecuted for gathering. Despite this oppression, we have continued to find ways to harness the power of coming together. We gather to exchange thoughts on politics, religion, art, literature, music and relationships. We campaign and march and collectively tackle issues large and small. We share wisdom, inspiration and encouragement. We are better together.
Better Together includes the following essays from these authors:
The Buoyant Moms Club by Cindy Lehew-Nehrbass; Cadillac Campers by Kathie O'Brien; Circles by Kris Woll; Connected by Anne Pinkerton; Connecting Through the Outdoors by Wendy Altschuler; Cooking With Fire by Katie Hanus; Discovering Sisterhood in Boujad by Mónica Lindo; Embracing the Downward Slope by Joy Riggs; The First Wednesday Morning by Amanda Kennedy; Happiest Babies on the Block by Lindsey Rose; House on the Lake by JJ McGawn; Light Bearers by Heidi Fettig Parton; Melinda by Sarah Schellenberg; Oldies by Kathleen English Cadmus; Open Table by Suzanne O'Brien; The Quilt by Deb DeBates; The Request by Jody Vallee Smith; Sisterhood by Karol Jackowski; The Song in Your Heart by Jane Ramseyer Miller; The Sum of Us by the Cedar Ridge Writers Group (Eileen Drennen et al.); The Tropical Cure by Krista Westendorp; Tuesday Writing Crew by Katie Noah Gibson; When Pregnancy Doesn't Glow by Jillian Netherland; When the World Shut Down by Miranda Scotti; Women's Night Out by Kara Thom
About Publish Her
Many authors dream of signing a book deal with a traditional publisher and making it to the top of the New York Times bestseller list. But only around 1 percent of authors are published by traditional publishers, which equates to fewer than 8,000 people annually.
The majority of authors published traditionally are white men ages 40 and older; these men are also at the top of the publishing pay scale. Meanwhile, the odds are stacked against women authors. Even more so if she is a woman of color, a woman with a disability, a member of the LGBTQ+ community or any combination of these.
Publish Her is on a mission to disrupt that status quo. We are a female-founded publisher dedicated to elevating the words, writing and stories of women. We are passionate about amplifying the voices of women of color, women with disabilities and members of the LGBTQ+ community, and we aim to make publishing an attainable, exciting and collaborative process for all. We want every woman to know: Your words are worthy. Your voice is important.
Publish Her demonstrates its commitment to equity, in part, by providing access to publishing services and programs through grants. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the sale of this book will benefit publishing grants for underrepresented women authors. For more information, visit www.publishherpress.com.
