Alice Notley's Alma, or The Dead Women is a cross-genre book, poem/novel, poetry/prose, comedy/tragedy, that submits to no discipline but its own and was conceived by the author in a state of personal, national and planetary grief. In this book, Alma, the true god of our world, is a foul-mouthed middle-aged working-class woman, a junkie who injects heroin into the center of her forehead and dreams and suffers our nightmares with us. With the Dead Women, a community of spirits she attracts before but especially after September 11, 2001, Alma surveys with disbelief and horror the actions of the United States government as it perpetrates one war and prepares for another.

Part travel memoir, part spiritual pilgrimage, and part call to action, The Bond Between Women takes the reader to Nepal, India, Brazil, Argentina, and back to America to meet women - both mythological and real - of fierce compassion. Their stories form the heart of this narrative, into which Galland weaves strands of her own searing, personal journey. Re-creations of ancient myths of goddesses from around the world thread through this story of the power of the bond between women. In Nepal, a woman doctor tirelessly rescues children who have been sold to Indian brothels. In India, an international women's campaign works to help clean the waters of the Ganges. In Brazil, a woman teaches street children in a makeshift school under a Rio freeway. In Argentina, the Mothers of the Disappeared bear witness against a government that stole the lives of their children. In the United States, Mother Teresa's Sisters feed the homeless, and a Buddhist nun teaches peacemaking, forgiveness, and reconciliation. Around the world, women are working for healing, and the lives of these women reveal an unusual source of strength: the fierceness of compassion, symbolized in ancient icons, images, and archetypes of the divine feminine. Known to Buddhists in Nepal and Tibet as Tara, to Hindus in India as the goddess Durga, to Catholics in Europe and Latin America as the Black Madonna, and as Jemanja in the Afro-Brazilian tradition of Candomble, this fierce divine feminine arises when the world is on the brink of destruction, and saves us, the ancient stories say. Galland shows us that help comes from forgotten quarters, from what has been lost, rejected, and marginalized, and that though the world may be threatened, it is also being saved, by countless acts of courage, kindness, and fierce compassion.

Record numbers of women are working in all areas of the film and television industries. Actresses are creating their own production companies in order to obtain better roles and more control of their material. Women are creating TV shows to explore stories that more closely reflect their lives. There are more films about women and women's issues, and more money-making films with women protagonists. Change is occurring at every level, and women are clearly having an impact that is reshaping the entertainment industry and the product it delivers. Who better to tell of these changes than script consultant and author Linda Seger. Through interviews with key players such as Sherry Lansing, Dawn Steel, Gillian Armstrong, Marlo Thomas, Linda La Plante, Nora Ephron, Liv Ullman, Loretta Young, Jane Wyman, and many, many others, she shows just what a woman's influence means in what we see - and what we will see much more of in the years ahead - in movie theaters and on our TV screens and how, in turn, that power affects society.
