Dear Creative Woman,
It is important to understand that women’s culture is never a subculture. It would hardly be appropriate to define half of humanity as a subculture.
“The Creation of Patriarchy” by Gerda Lerner

This eye
is not for weeping
its vision
must be unblurred
though tears are on my face
its intent is clarity
it must forget
nothing
“From the Prison House” by Adrienne Rich
“Dance With Me” by Kate Register
What does my art mean to me: It means freedom. An expression of the soul that keeps me growing and in awe of this magical life.

Despite the unthinkable becoming reality year after year, AROHO has remained a source of hope, a path through the forest, and a homecoming for an ever-expanding circle of women.
“Letter to AROHO Sisters” by Darlene Chandler Bassett
“Pu Yi, The Last Manchu” by Guliz Mutlu
What is my deepest need: One day, I will draw the shape of a heart.

We respond to the call of our times and our community to release the confluence of women’s voices – both from our radiant anthology and from newly submitted work – into shared, published WAVES. With no limit to its future possibilities, we are publishing the anthology – piece by piece – in our monthly WAVES publication, and by digitizing all work from the anthology in the format of an online book serialization.
