More Than Half the Sky, first published in 1998, is the first comprehensive anthology of women's writing in English in Singapore. This facsimile volume of the first edition features the writings of thirty women - seven playwrights, ten poets and thirteen fictionists.
With altogether forty previously unpublished works and excerpts, More Than Half the Sky takes a good look at what women in Singapore are writing and thinking about: themselves and other women; men; sexual politics; children; work; love; marriage; freedom; their society. The poems, plays and stories collected here are not only readable and entertaining, they are also thought-provoking and engaging in their variety.
