This anthology reflects a broad range of viewpoints and experiences from women of different nationalities. In Waxing West, a woman newly arrived in the US from Romania is haunted
by the ghosts of the deposed dictator Ceausescu until she experiences 9/11. In Eyes of the Heart, a woman is tormented by memories of her daughter's execution by the Khmer
Rouge. In My Political Israeli Play, a young Israeli woman living in the US is asked by her agent to write a political play. America Dreaming juxtaposes a professor
discussing the policies governing American colonists with the experience of a young Japanese woman in the US during World War II. The Black Eyed skewers traditional views on sex,
family and terrorism as four Arab women from different periods wait at the Gates of Martyrs
