I Gotta Crow: Women, Voice, and Writing

by Jill Hackett

An insightful and inspiring collection of interviews with ten women authors, I Gotta Crow explores and celebrates the voice of the woman writer. With grace and wisdom, author Jill Hackett also instructs all women writers about their respective "voice"—how to find it, how to refine it, and how to liberate it. Written especially for women writers, this book shares the first-hand stories of acclaimed authors such as Caroline Bird, Regina Barrecca, and Carolivia Herron. Women writers are sure to see bits of themselves in the stories shared by this ethnically and socially diverse group of authors that range in age from eighty four to twenty four and who work in most every writing genre-poetry, nonfiction, memoir, academic, and even children's. I Gotta Crow is the perfect book for women writers of any background. Professional writers will enjoy the insights of their peers, and students will benefit by heeding the lessons learned by these outspoken, independent, endlessly creative women. It is both a profound literary study and a compelling examination of the creative process and women's culture in America.
