Wild Women Story Contest A project of TulipTree Review (see other related projects). About We are looking for empowering stories with female main characters (written by anyone) that celebrate the Wild Woman spirit: women who are the heroines of their own lives; rebels, subversives, and the undomesticated; maidens, mothers, and crones; holy women, healers, explorers, artists, and teachers. We believe honoring the feminine is part of a healthy and balanced planet, so bring us your Wild to share with the world.
