Wall tappings
an anthology of writings by women prisoners
by Judith A. Scheffler
Breaking histories of silence and invisibility, Wall tappings presents an international collection of women's writings, from prisons around the world and across centuries. "These are the marginal texts in a tradition of marginal texts," writes Judith A. Scheffler in introducing her groundbreaking anthology of writing by women prisoners. Unique in its geographic and historical ranges, this rich collection gives a voice to women whose stories have been long neglected. Speaking from settings as diverse as a Roman prison cell in 203 AD, the labor camps of Siberia in the 1930s, and a Philippines prison in the 1980s, these writers explore the ways in which actual incarceration rests in the shadow of imprisonment within larger society.
