(Her)Oics

By Amy Roost and Joanell Serra

Book Overview

Powerful stories of women navigating the COVID-19 pandemic.

(HER)OICS encompasses the perspectives of women who are front-line responders and recovering patients; going out to work, staying home to work, and losing their jobs; living with multiple generations and living in isolation; women grieving loved ones and celebrating new love; women preparing to give birth and supporting the dying.

Although differing based on location, age, race, and health, they share the unique capacity of women to bring their strength, ingenuity, and love--for others and for self--to an uncertain time. This anthology, inspired by the risks of the pandemic inherent to women and their tremendous role in the country's response, is for readers interested in women's studies, social issues, and personal narratives. Discover stories of resilience, hope, and community during a global crisis.
