The Daughters of Discordia

by Suzanne Owens

In this fascinating and disturbing first book, Suzanne Owens gives poetic voice to some of the most infamous, wayward and criminal women in history. Named for the goddess Discordia, whom Zeus expelled from heaven, the collection includes monologues from such famous daughters as Ma Barker and Cattle Kate as well as the stories of lesser-known but no less notorious women. Truly a rogue's gallery in verse of some of history's most infamous women.
