description: Across a series of vivid, untamed landscapes Sylvia Brownrigg's characters wander in search of the obvious--love, fame, a good recipe for canapes--as well as the less obvious. In "Hussy from the West" the narrator undertakes a long erotic quest for satisfaction; in "The Bird Chick" a visionary organizes some unusual park inhabitants for a bold experiment in theater. In Sylvia Brownrigg's starkly original "Ten Women Who Shook the World," wherever these maverick women travel, their bold, comical voices urge us to follow.
