Publishers Weekly reviews Jane Gerhard's forthcoming THE DINNER PARTY. "This thoughtful history and analysis of Judy Chicago's 1979 'feminist blockbuster,' The Dinner Party,
its provocative relations with the art world, feminism, and popular
culture, and eventual transformation from 'controversy to canonization,'
gives second-wave feminists an opportunity to relive their turbulent
roots while educating younger women—especially artists—about the
struggle for rights and respect they take for granted."Flavorwire names Melinda Moustakis as one of the "10 Best Millennial Authors You Probably Haven't Read (Yet)." "Alaskan native Melinda Moustakis’s first collection of short stories, BEAR DOWN, BEAR NORTH, won the Flannery O’Connor Award and the Maurice Prize and was shortlisted for the William Saroyan International Prize for Writing. And no wonder — toughing it out in the wilderness has never sounded so beautiful."
