‘I chose the stories here primarily for the strength of their writing . . . and their exceptional portrayal of women and women’s lives in the contemporary world’ - Sue Adler.
Astute, poignant and sensitive, this is a selection of stories by women from across the globe. There’s the agony of dieting, a new look at the relationship between Ms Snow White and the seven dwarfs, the pain of losing a child and the freshness of an eager young woman arriving in a new city.
Including stories by Rosario Ferré, Margaret Sutherland, Ravinder Randhawa, Kate Pullinger and Leonora Brito, this international collection of stories provides a stimulating introduction to the wealth of women’s writing today.
