These stories may be from the South, but there are no shy, retiring belles here! Whether remembering of the power of a cheerleading uniform or flirting with another woman's husband, the women in this collection of true stories play with fire -- sometimes literally. These stories range from the poetic and personal -- dancing warm nights away with strangers and renting out rooms to adulterers with an exhibitionistic streak -- to the journalistic, including a piece about Willie Carter Sharpe, the "queen of Roanoke rum runners," as well as a story about Alice Mitchell and Freda Ward, whose plan to run away and live as "man" and wife ended in scandal and murder in 1892. This collection includes contributions by Southern women from a broad range of circumstances and stages of life: teenage cheerleaders, middle-aged lesbians struggling to find acceptance from their aging parents, and Atlanta divorcees trying to get back into the dating game.
