$14.95

A Hear the Voices title

Narratives on Women’s Issues Volume 2: Women Power

The theme and objective of this volume is to highlight the manner in which women use their power and position to help others.

Thirteen writers have contributed their work to this volume and I sincerely thank them. A wide diversity is seen among the writers in terms of geographic origins and ethnicity. Our writers come from India, Japan, Guyana, Trinidad & Tobago, Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, Bangladesh, U.S., Mauritius, and Papua New Guinea. In effect, we have spanned the globe. The anthology represents the collective voices of writers from emerging and developed economies.

The diversity helps us to understand and come to terms with the varying level of struggles, and the glimpses of success as more women use their power to effect change. The context of tribulations and triumphs vary in their magnitude and impact. Of course, the works also point to the universality of the struggle for positive social change, and the challenges women share across geography, ethnicity, and religion.

What are people saying?

  • Dom, why do you only focus on books by women authors?” It's because often the story of women is the least told, the least heard, the least emphasised.

    There are stories to be consumed, across the world, by resilient women who live, day to day, in adversity. If I tree falls in a forest and no one is there to hear it, has it really fallen? If a woman tells her story and no one is there to consume it, who will remember? How will others be able to hear about it?

    In this case, this is precisely the kind of collection of stories that is important to read. Each story highlights the resilience and adversity of women worldwide, as they confront the world's hardships with ingenuity and sheer grit in diverse settings. This collection encompasses both non-fiction and fiction, featuring a diverse range of themes that highlight the importance of cultural assimilation, indigenous rights, race, identity, ageing, women’s protection, and the hardships faced by women.

    Touching on the lives of women across the globe, from Japan, to India, Guyana to Trinidad, the inclusion of women from all spheres of life allows for a thorough dissection of what it truly means to be a woman in this age.

    I think it's important to keep this on your radar and introduce new writers to your repertoire.
