This Anthology is a collection of artwork, prose, poems and essays answering the question: "What's it really like to be a woman?". We are seventeen members of a girl's senior boarding house, and we have decided to give a brutally honest description of what it's really like.
Through stories, we have attempted to describe the anger, fear, disappointment and sadness intertwined in our lives as young girls. There may be some upsetting content.
By telling our story, we hope to make more people aware of what our daily lives can look like, but most importantly, we would like to raise awareness to find a solution.
The cover of this book is entitled "Nameless faces" by Cecilia Gregorio. All of the girls photographed have experienced an act of sexual harassment and/or assault, and all have had their identities diminished and objectified.
All profits from the sale of this book will be donated to Women's Aid UK.
