About The Book

This collection of short stories is a powerful tribute to the everyday woman—often overlooked, often oppressed, but always resilient. These narratives delve deep into the lived experiences of women, exposing the layers of injustice, inequality, and societal neglect they endure.

From birth, a girl child is burdened by expectations and deemed inferior. The stories poignantly portray the emotional, physical, and psychological scars borne by women in a society where resources are scarce, and empathy is rarer still. Through generations—from grandmothers to young girls—women are subjected to continuous hardship, discrimination, and exploitation. They are denied identity, voice, and value beyond their roles as laborers, caregivers, or objects of desire.

Yet, these stories are not just tales of suffering—they are profound expressions of courage, resistance, and raw truth. Each story captures the drama and poetry of a woman's life, with rich language, compelling dialogue, and deeply human characters. The narration draws readers into the heart of each woman's struggle, leaving a lasting impression.

This collection speaks loudly and unflinchingly to the systemic issues women face, compelling readers to reflect, empathize, and, perhaps, to change. These are not just stories—they are testimonies of pain, dignity, and the undying spirit of womanhood.
