Wounds: New Openings Into Old Stories by Heather E. Tisdale (English) Paperback

Description: Wounds by Heather E. Tisdale What kind of husband chooses his wife by how easily she bruises? Why would a woman wear glass shoes that cut her feet to impress a man? Does sleeping imply consent?I have always been a reader of fairy tales and my preference was for the darker ones--the ones with blood and pain and the villains getting what was coming to them. As an adult I began to see how these classic tales mirrored my experiences as a woman in a patriarchal society. I began to write my own versions of darker tales based on my life and the lives of women I knew. Wounds: New Openings Into Old Stories is a collection of eighteen fairy tales, folk tales and nursery rhymes that retells these classic stories through a feminist lens. It is my story. It is our story. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Heather Tisdale was born and raised in Louisiana. She has always had a flair for the dramatic and has been spinning tales from the moment she could speak. She graduated twice from Louisiana College, once with a degree that made her an interesting and well-rounded person and then went back to get her teaching qualification because being an interesting and well-rounded person does not get you a job. While in college she and her sidekick (who later became her husband) were exchange students for three months in London and became devoted Anglophiles. In 2004 they decided to live adventurously by leaving the American South and immigrating to the UK. She lived for a decade in England and now resides in a crooked pink house in rainy Wales with her husband Thomas and their rescued tarantulas and Giant African Land Snails. She is an author, an artist and an activist.
