Please regiuster in advance for this Zoom event: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZAkd-GvqzgvHNV8devsR0TYOiSSpzrYzNQQ About Daughters: This collection reimagines characters from mythology, folklore, fairy tales, and pop culture from the perspective of their daughters--daughters we don't expect such individuals to have, as we don't usually think of Bigfoot, the Mad Hatter, or Medusa as parents.
