Emergence: Contemplations + Creative Expressions of the Gifted Feminine
Emergence grew from a year-long collaborative exploration of the gifted feminine. Across more than 35 contributions, gifted and multi-exceptional women give voice to their lived experience, re-story their encounters with patriarchal and normative structures, and begin reclaiming aspects of themselves that have too often been denied or exiled.
Through writing, poetry, and art, the collection explores what it means to rediscover the feminine through a gifted lens—in body and relationship, nature and soul, creativity and leadership. Together, these expressions invite readers into their own contemplation of the gifted feminine and the possibilities of reclamation and new expression.

Retrieving the Bones: Restoring + Re-Storying the Gifted Feminine
Retrieving the Bones emerged from a year-long contemplative journey by 20 gifted women into the past to retrieve and give voice to aspects of the gifted feminine that had been silenced, excluded, or left unlived. Through ancestors, archetypal figures, myths, and folktales, contributors explored what might be brought back into relationship with the present.
Across 26 creative expressions, we encounter the insatiably curious who refuse to stop wondering, maidens rendered confused and alone, grandmothers—human, earthen, and otherwise—misfits, wild women, warriors, and crones. Together, their voices offer pathways toward healing, creative agency, and a deeper remembering of gifted feminine wisdom and wholeness.

Emergence fills a crucial gap in literature about giftedness, and that is the embodied, intuitive, non-linear experiences of gifted women.
