It's Women's History Month in the U.S. (and UK and Australia, apparently). Elizabeth Warren's recent exit from the primary race for the 2020 elections made this an appealing tribute to her campaign work. All of the stories contained within the loose collection are based on the quote adopted by many feminist movements: "nevertheless, she persisted" (spoken by good ol' Moscow Mitch when Warren justifiably objected to Sessions' appointment as U.S. Attorney General).

This one is short and powerful and lacks detail in a way that can contribute to some serious metaphorical comparisons to modern day life.

They fell together, she and the monster, gazing into one another’s ruined faces.

One less monster to take the city, one less woman to defend it.
