About the Book
In a collection of original stories, essays, artwork,
and photography, Nan Goldin, Eileen Myles, bell hooks,
and other cutting-edge artists explore their use of
art to survive madness, abuse, incest, depression, and
the impulse toward self-destruction manifest in eating
disorders, cutting, addiction, and contemplation of
suicide. The book confronts the brutality many women
and girls encounter in the world around them, and
bravely takes as its subject the often misunderstood
violence they at times inflict upon themselves.
The diverse array of contributors here—novelists,
poets, cartoonists, dancers, photographers,
playwrights, burlesque performers—traverse the pains
and passions that can both motivate and destroy women
artists and mark a path for survival. Together they
show that creative women are not destined to the fate
of lost visionaries such as Woolf, Sexton, Arbus, and
Plath. Live Through This is a fearless exploration of
women's silent rage, the power that can come from
internal struggle, and the possibility of transforming
this burning force into fierce and enlightened work.
