  • One of the Feminist Press's classic bestsellers, the stories in the original Tatterhood continue to organically generate readership and press. It is ranked #4 on Amazon for its specific category, was the subject of an 2015 op-ed in Cicada magazine, and generally remains a highly recognizable and cited title for feminist children's anthologies. The original anthology, published in 1978, has sold over 80,000 copies, and has been translated into multiple languages.

     

  • This series is ideal for progressive parents interested in sharing nonsexist folklore with their children. There are a few similar collections of girl-centered folk stories, but none published in the last 10+ years.

     

  • This new edition of Tatterhood will feature new illustrations throughout the four-volume series, all from the same illustrator and with similar book design to tie the volumes together. Each volume will also be introduced by a prominent contemporary children's/YA author, speaking to the importance of progressive children's literature. This first volume will be introduced by Gayle Forman, YA author of If I Stay.

     

  • All titles in the series will be leveled for the Common Core curriculum, and will include the Common Core logo on the back cover to publicize this fact.
