"The performance was profound and moving, emotionally and intellectually.The breadth of the perspectives collectively is what gives the stories their power. It is political not in the usual partisan understanding, but in a deeply human sense..."--Linda Green, Associate Professor, Dept. of Anthropology, University of Arizona

Kore has been publishing the creative genius of women writers since 1993, in part to maintain a more equitable public discourse and establish a more accurate historic record. Greek for "daughter," Kore (kor-ay) recalls the myth of Persephone—the story of a daughter taken into the underworld who re-emerges above ground half the year because of a bargain struck between her mother and the nasty fellow who runs the place down below. The daughter's emerging from the dark depths each year marks the changing of seasons.
