Feminine Prerogatives

Louise Jaffe, author of Feminine Prerogatives: 3 Tales of Empowerment, is a Pushcart nominee for poetry. Here is what some concerned and creative writers of today have to say about her first work of fiction, Feminine Prerogatives.



Feminine Prerogatives: 3 Tales of Empowerment, is Louise Jaffes first fiction book, a trilogy of novellas about womens choices and survival, sometimes humorous, sometimes painful, always insightful. Jaffe writes with wit and poignancy, her characters are everyday earthy heroines who seek solace and recognition in their world. Her style is both plainspoken and poetic.

~ Editors Note




Faustinas Upward Fall is a humorous allegory dramatizing the lengths to which one writer, Faustina Cohen, will go to be published. Ive cried with April Carter, ached with Faustina, and both mourned and rejoiced with Shirley Stone.

Poetry therapists will be interested in reading about Shirley Stone, Louise Jaffes protagonist in the novella, Journeynotes, her experiences with journaling and her first attempts at writing poetry, as described in Jaffes trilogy Feminine Prerogatives: 3 Tales of Empowerment. Shirley flies on owl wings and through her own determination recreates and revitalizes herself. She evolves into an empowered woman thriving in a world of self-determined choices.
