I'm so glad she's doing this. Atwood is a strong, necessary female voice. I still keep going back to "Stone Mattress" when I talk about concepts such as justice, rehabilitation, and revenge--especially in relation to gender violence. Although I really admire all her writing, I think "Stone Mattress" is the one I most revere. What a seething and deceptively calm short story!
