Writer and co-founder & editor ofMgħawġin.

As an American-Maltese writer, each “leħen”, each voice, is talking about the societal issues women face with no subtleties - anger, frustration & sadness are direct in these voices. A married woman is attracted to a young man, yet must deal with her post-breast cancer body. A woman describes her mother’s dementia. Another deals with the impacts of the patriarchy, how not being allowed to play a game of football means much more than society would admit.

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. 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.

Marianna (@just_the_books on IG) | Book blogger & Reviewer

“As diverse as every individual story appears to be, what clearly runs through the entire collection of works is a strong desire to be heard, seen, and accepted without the need to change within non-binary, societal, and cultural norms.”

“THE EVOLVING GAZE” IHRAM LITERARY MAGAZINE (2025)

LORA HERRERA, MAVERICK INDEPENDENT REVIEWS

The Evolving Gaze reminds us that definitions and descriptions of humans are human rights issues—definitions can be used as weapons or shields, to silence or to evoke speech, to commodify or … to create harmony, to gain understanding, to spark change, or so many things.
