Fourteen years after the New York Times bestselling anthology THE BITCH IN THE HOUSE ushered in an unfiltered voice for a generation of young women, Cathi Hanauer has returned with a more mature, wiser, and "less angry" follow-up in THE BITCH IS BACK.

Hanauer discusses her selection of this collection's 16 new contributors - ranging from a transgender middle-aged woman to one who was in an arranged marriage - and follows up with 9 authors from the first volume whose lives have changed dramatically in the generation between books.
