The short stories in Meredith Sue Willis' Re-visons: Stories from Stories will take you back to your Scripture, your Shakespeare and your Harriet Beecher Stowe.

The short stories in Meredith Sue Willis' Re-visons: Stories from Stories will take you back to your Scripture, your Shakespeare and your Harriet Beecher Stowe. And when you do glance back at the stories that Willis here "re-visions," you might be surprised at the way in which women figure in these well-known works from an earlier time-- barely. You may also be surprised to discover that you have read many of the texts she uses, rolling happily along on a tide of male-centricity, never giving a thought to the silenced female populations. After reading Re-visions, you won't be doing that again. Though Willis's "revisionist" work has a political point of view, you will find no anger or dogmatism here. Rather you will find real women in the midst of busy and eventful lives, full of the energy, complexity and desire that we can all recognize. Their creation is long overdue.
