This book unveils the private life of an Englishwoman whose significant contributions to Egypt's ancient history have been overlooked. It highlights Myrtle Broome, who passed away in 1978, through her letters, revealing her vital role during a golden age of excavation in Upper Egypt. An only child and prolific writer, Broome kept her parents informed about her life in Egypt, vividly capturing local traditions, artisan work, and cultural festivities. Her letters provide a personal glimpse into the experiences of an English working woman abroad in the 1930s. Born in 1888 to artistically inclined parents in Holborn, London, Broome studied at University College London under Sir William Petrie from 1911 to 1913. In 1927, she joined excavations at Qau el-Kebir as an artist for the British School of Archaeology in Egypt, and in 1929, she worked at the renowned Seti Temple in Abydos for the Egypt Exploration Society. Over eight seasons, she meticulously copied painted scenes in the temple, becoming one of the greatest copyists in Egypt and leaving behind invaluable renditions of its most beautiful monuments. This book celebrates the contributions of an under-recognized woman artist during a pivotal era of archaeological discovery in Egypt.

Cold Candies encapsulate the saccharine strangeness of a woman’s life. Fragments of narratives about girls, dolls, sisters, mothers, men, lizards, the moon, and pillows are brought together into otherworldly images that are devastating, yet familiar. Lee Young-ju is one of South Korea’s most original minds, and this collection, curated and translated by National Endowment of Arts Fellow Jae Kim, features a selection from her extraordinary body of work. These prose poems are often self-portraits, and together, they are as much an account of her life as it is an attempt to understand it. Pulling out threads from her past, she examines its traumas and tragedies and unravels a haunting dreamscape of intimacy and kinship.

Two compassionately subversive plays about identity, by Young Jean Lee, a Korean American playwright whose work is groundbreaking, humorous and often thrillingly transgressive. In Straight White Men , it's Christmas Eve, and Ed has gathered his three adult sons to celebrate with matching pyjamas, trash-talking, and Chinese takeaway. But when a question they can't answer interrupts their seasonal cheer, they are forced to confront their own identities. Raucous, surprising and fearless, Straight White Men takes an outside look at the traditional father/son narrative, shedding new light on a story we think we know all too well. It had its UK premiere at Southwark Playhouse, London, in 2021, following US productions including a Broadway run that made Lee the first Asian-American woman to have a play produced on Broadway. In Untitled Feminist Show , six charismatic stars of the theatre, dance, cabaret and burlesque worlds come together in an exhilaratingly irreverent, nearly wordless celebration of a fluid and limitless sense of identity. Untitled Feminist Show isn't a show about feminism – it is a feminist show. It premiered at the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, in 2012 before transferring to the Baryshnikov Arts Center in New York City.
