The stories in Jessie Ren Marshall’s debut collection span bizarre dystopias, gritty realities, and everything in between with clever control and electric wit. Women! In! Peril! presents 12 speculative tales about characters dealing with problems ranging from the mass extinction of the human race to co-parenting with an ex. Marshall’s striking voice rings loud and clear in each one as she probes the emotional complexities of being a woman who is, indeed, occasionally in peril.
