Smite An Anthology of Women’s Rage A project of Inkd Publishing (see other related projects). About Smite is power. Smite is action. Smite is judgement wielded, often motivated by fury at the horrors and injustices that exist in the world. Whether these terrors are public or private, personal or pervasive, the rage they engender in women is an unreckoned with force. What would she SMITE if the power was hers? What would she avenge, or make right in the world? What has she already crushed or conquered or survived in order to continue her daily life? How does she unfold beyond the anger — like a flower into sunlight or like the shockwave after an explosion?We are seeking the stories that come out of the unspoken place that lurks and simmers within so many women 24/7, with no respite. The tales can be horror. They can be vigilante. They can be survival. They can be science fiction or fantasy or paranormal. They can be quiet or vicious, violent or smoldering. They need to bloom and speak of what women survive, within and without, just to get through each day.Because so many women are never not angry, and their stories will not be silenced.
