In voices both mythic and modern, Wake, Siren by Penn Alum Nina MacLaughlin '97, revisits each account of love, loss, rape, revenge, and change. It lays bare the violence that undergirds and lurks in the heart of Ovid’s narratives, stories that helped build and perpetuate the distorted portrayal of women across centuries of art and literature. - Macmillan Publishers
