Melodious women

the long version

A celebration of individuality, beauty and courage, Melodious Women is a collection of more than eighty-five poems in tribute to women in history. From the mythical Ariadne and the literary genius Rosario Castellanos to the passionate conviction of Rachel Carson, Marjorie Agosin's verses honor these accomplished, ground-breaking figures, as well as the universal roles women play as in the poems "Mothers" and "The Women Who Wait." This collection is an inspiring portrait of both the diversity and unity of the female experience.
