  Two thousand years ago, the Roman poet Ovid gave voice to a group of inspirational women – queens, sorcerers, pioneers, poets and politicians – in a series of fictional letters called The Heroines. They were the women left in the wake of those swaggering heroes of classical mythology: Theseus, Hercules, Ulysses, Jason, Achilles…
  Now, drawing inspiration from Ovid, fifteen leading female and non-binary British playwrights dramatise the lives of these fifteen heroines in a series of new monologues for the twenty-first century.
  15 Heroines was commissioned by Jermyn Street Theatre, London, and first performed – online and in three parts – in November 2020, presented in partnership with Digital Theatre. This edition of all fifteen monologues is introduced by directors – Adjoa Andoh, Tom Littler and Cat Robey – and writer, broadcaster and classicist Natalie Haynes.
  The War tells the untold stories of the Trojan War: Oenone, Hermione, Laodamia, Briseis and Penelope, written by Lettie Precious, Sabrina Mahfouz, Charlotte Jones, Abi Zakarian and Hannah Khalil.
  The Desert is about women going their own way: Deianaria, Canace, Hypermestra, Dido and Sappho, written by April De Angelis, Isley Lynn, Chinonyerem Odimba, Stella Duffy and Lorna French.
  The Labyrinth is about the women who encountered Jason and Theseus: Ariadne, Phaedra, Phyllis, Hypsipyle and Medea, written by Bryony Lavery, Timberlake Wertenbaker, Samantha Ellis, Natalie Haynes and Juliet Gilkes Romero.

  Machinations of A Feminist

  A semi autobiographical collection of poetry by an award winning poet, Machinations of A Feminist is a conversation between a Barbadian woman poet and each listener. It is an offering of communion between poet, reader and listener 
  "These poems share the romance the author has with words and her habit of uplifting the local (Barbadian, Caribbean), the extra-ordinary. In so doing it offers a validation of the poem as personal history, and therefore history. The words themselves are offered as the objective correlative, since what stands behind them may ultimately be un-shareable - an aim to delight God and fellowship with the reader in what may well be simply groans. Nonetheless, let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as seek thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified... " 
  Margaret D. Gill taught, variously, literature, written English, Caribbean civilization studies and critical writing for over two decades as adjunct staff at the Cave Hill Campus of the University of the West Indies. She has been published in several anthologies, including the original BIM Magazine and The Oxford Book of Caribbean Verse (2005). She was First Prize winner of the Inaugural Frank Collymore Literary Endowment Award (1998), and in 2008 was one of nine international writers of the IWW (International Writers Workshop) in Hong Kong and China.
