Grahn, Judy. The Work of a Common Woman. With an introduction by Adrienne Rich. New York, St. Martin's Press, 1980.q 20.2cm x 13.3cm. 158 pages. Original softcover. Excellent condition with only minor signs of external wear. The poetry of Judy Grahn is an underground legend among women in this country. She has reawakened language and the shapes of poetry to a feminist perspective to speak of what it means to be a powerful woman in this world, at this time. Extremely varied in form and emotional color but always rooted in everyday language and common female experience, this is poetry people memorize and put to use, dance to, learn from and argue with, laugh and cry over, and whisper to themselves in hard times. All five of Grahn's chapbooks are included in this volume. Grahn is a lecturer and poet who lives in San Francisco.

"Blood, Bread, and Roses" reclaims women's myths and stories, chronicling the ways in which women's actions and the teaching of myth have interacted over the millenia. Grahn argues that culture has been a weaving between the genders, a sharing of wisdom derived from menstruation. Her rich interpretations of ancient menstrual rites give us a new and hopeful story of culture's beginnings based on the integration of body, mind, and spirit found in women's traditions. "Blood, Bread, and Roses" offers all of us a way back to understanding the true meaning of women's menstraul power. Foreword by Charlene Spretnak "[Grahn's] intriguing excursion through folklore, myth, religion, anthropology and history bespeaks a feminist conviction that male origin stories must be balanced by a recognition of women's central role in shaping civilization." -Publishers Weekly
