Sheela Na Gig Episode 85: Marge Piercy

In today’s episode April explores writer, American progressive activist and feminist Marge Piercy. An extremely prolific writer, Piercy has published close to 20 books of poetry and close to 20 novels. Her novels generally address larger social concerns through sharply observed characters and brisk plot lines. Though generally focused on issues such as class or culture, and usually written from a feminist position, Piercy’s novels have taken on a variety of guises, including historical fiction and science or speculative fiction. She’s quite a Sheela!   “Marge Piercy is not just an author, she’s a cultural touchstone. Few writers in modern memory have sustained her passion, and skill, for creating stories of consequence.” — The Boston Globe   https://sheelanagigpodcast.com/ Podbean: https://sheelanagigpc.podbean.com Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2nMtfIynuxuMaBA5m4Augh IHeartradio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1323-sheela-na-gig-podcast-260836165/ Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/78203134-1dd7-4067-a7bd-8d52eac8dabd/sheela-na-gig-podcast Podchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/sheela-na-gig-podcast-5968492 PlayerFM: https://player.fm/series/3641817 Instagram: / sheelanagig_podcast #womenempowerment #women #storytelling #humor #women_issues #sheelanagig
