' Bloody Woman gives voice to my lived experience, to the overlooked, to the underrepresented and to the exceptionally complex, multifaceted and contradictory experience of being a woman. ' This wayfinding set of essays explores the overlap of being Samoan and a woman, as experienced ' from diaspora' , by acclaimed writer and critic Lana Lopesi. Writing on ancestral ideas of womanhood appears alongside contemporary reflections on women' s experiences and the Pacific. These often deeply personal essays amount to a complex, rich and multi-layered book. Playful, speculative and far-sighted, these essays are written to support ' the narratives not yet written' and the new generations to come. As Lopesi writes, ' I hope that in the simple act of articulating something, I will both open space and leave room for others to tell their stories in their way. ' With the world confronting fresh questions of gender, race and identity, Bloody Woman opens up new horizons for thinking and writing in Aotearoa New Zealand and the Pacific.
