Rumpus Women, Volume 1

Purchase a copy of the first and most extraordinary book ever published by The Rumpus: Rumpus Women, Vol I.
San Francisco Magazine calls it “a bold, and  stylistically varied
compilation whose 20 contributors span a range of topics—religion, race,
motherhood, hiking, writing—each in conversation with the rest. (“Pussy Fever,” Cheryl Strayed’s thoughts on why she wishes sex work were
obsolete, is followed by “Locker 29,” Antonia Crane’s gritty expose
about auditioning for a New Orleans strip club.) This is a Rumpus
production, so the authors tend to be hip and urbane, and many of them
discuss sexuality that’s outside the norm. But no matter what they
cover, these well-written pieces share a probing intelligence and raise
more questions than they answer—the perfect antidote to the pat personal
reflections in most collections with the word women in the title.”
