AS YOU WISH.

Scheherezade's Bequest Volume 1, Issue 1. AS YOU WISH: THE LOATHLY LADY gathers together fiction, poetry, and non-fiction in an exploration of what it is women (and men) truly want. We chose the theme of the Loathly Lady for this issue in order to challenge modern perceptions of beauty and to explore the notion of sovereignty. Authors responded to our call for submissions with a diverse arrays of stories, poems, artwork, and academic insights into the Loathly Lady trope. Their answers to our questions may surprise you.
