Every Breath Alight
An Anthology of Breathtaking Women
Featuring 14 original stories
A new revolution has ignited.
In this third anthology from Dandelion Revolution Press, a breathtaking collection of fourteen stories tells tales of women who find their voices—and aren’t afraid to use them.
Step into different worlds where characters strive to be heard. A mermaid reclaims her voice and shares her final story. A young witch-hunter challenges the demons of her past and present. A forgotten wife finds freedom in the plunge. Modern women balance demands of their society as they grapple with their dreams, while others struggle in futuristic worlds that constrain and control their voices and bodies.
Join these women as they reckon with who they once were—and burn to find who they were meant to be.

An Anthology of Unforgettable Women

From a runaway goddess hiding in a cave to a lawyer shaking things up in a 1960s courtroom, this collection brings together stories of mythology, suspense, fantasy, and drama. Each of the thirteen stories features women acting not quite as they were told by society. Contemporary characters rise up to face loss, find closure, and even become “unholy avengers,” proving that women can be as dynamic in fiction as they are in real life. There are sirens and witches, widows and teenagers—all women you won’t soon forget.
