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.
