Comment:
“Seven stories, inspired by the voices and accounts collected in twenty-five years of work in contact with women and girls who have faced violence, to speak of rebirth, possibilities, and stories of personal redemption. Short stories, like chapters of a manual for empowerment which starts from the self, to reveal the many, often brilliant, ways in which women have come out of violence. Based on meetings with many extraordinary women, these stories convey their voices, stitching together the recurring threads of many stories of everyday violence. The protagonists leave violence behind, following their own path with intelligence and courage. They are not victims but protagonists of the transformation of the world.” [Publisher’s website]
