Summary

Insolence sheds light upon women shaded by the power and dominance of men. Thuy On reinvents, reimagines, and rearranges iconic figures in our literature, visual art, history, books, and screens. The collection brings a contemporary feminist overlay to both real and fictional characters and offers an impertinent retort to patriarchy. It’s a witty and perceptive celebration of women’s voices across time and place.

What They're Saying

Critics Review

There is a saucy, pert, transgressive air to this book, which is so aptly titled Insolence – Jennifer Compton
Insolence is subversive, feminist, and clever, but also playful, sexy, and a lot of fun. There should be no doubt about it: Thuy On is a poet at the top of her game. – Melanie Cheng
A dazzling tour of feminine presences in literature, history, and culture. Wrought with immaculate sarcasm and biting insight, Thuy On comes to the page with the
gleanings of a lifetime in art. – Alan Fyfe
