"She Sex is an important gathering of women's voices. On one hand the writing is a celebration of sexual fulfillment and curiosity ranging from Atiya's poem, "Differentology", about sex with a lover who transitions from a male to a female, and to Zahra I. Airall's story, "Over the Hill and Through the Wood" about an older woman finding sexual gratification for the first time. But the anthology does not shy away from the ways that sex is used as a weapon against women. Both Delesse Francis and Shakirah Bourne write stories of intimacy and emotion about ways that sexual power can be used as a primary tool to control women and seed self-doubt in girls. I hope young women around the Caribbean get a chance to read this book and have heated discussions about the beauty of sexual pleasure and vulnerability of that very beauty. The collection also does important work by introducing some writers to a wider audience." Tiphanie Yanique, author of "How to Escape from a Leper Colony"
