Subverting the traditional idea of “locker room talk\,” this collection illuminates the conversations women share with family\, friends\, and strangers\, whether at the sinks of a nightclub ladies’ room\, on a bus heading to the Women’s March\, or in the kitchen of an elder relative. Cumulatively\, they reveal the myriad ways women care for themselves\, each other\, their communities\, and our world. \nMichelle Filkins is a founding editor of Spout Press and a contributing author to The Evolution of Human Cooperation and Community Development (Lexington Books\, 2021) and Creating a Transformational Community: The Fundamentals of Stewardship Activities (Lexington Books\, 2017).

Sha is one of the premier actors\, artists and culture makers in the Twin Cities whose work has been recognized globally. \nMaureen Aitken’s short-story collection\, The Patron Saint of Lost Girls (SEMO Press)\, won the Nilsen Prize\, the top Foreword Review INDIE Prize (General Fiction\, Gold Winner)\, and ranked in the Kirkus Best Indie Books of 2019.  She is a Minnesota Book Award finalist and a Pushcart Prize nominee. \nLeslie Adrienne Miller’s collections of poetry include Y\, The Resurrection Trade\, and Eat Quite Everything You See from Graywolf Press\, and Yesterday Had a Man In It\, Ungodliness and Staying Up For Love from Carnegie Mellon University Press. \nPatricia Cumbie’s short stories and essays have been published in numerous journals and anthologies.
