Last night, editors Michelle Filkins and Margret Aldrich accepted the MN Book Award for Best Anthology for “Locker Room Talk: Women in Private Spaces.” Here is a clip of their lovely acceptance speech. Thank you and congratulations to the 30+ wonderful contributors!

We are delighted and humbled to have our book LOCKER ROOM TALK nominated for the Minnesota Book Award for Best Anthology!! It feels too appropriate to have this collection protesting Trump's misogyny to be recognized now at the onset of another Trump term. Buy @asterismbooks.bsky.social
