Edited by Diane Driedger and Susan Gray
This unprecedented collection of writings from seventeen countries discloses the world each of these women face, a world that has imposed false and constricting images upon them. What is it like to be blind in Pakistan? How is a woman with a disability treated by her family in Japan? What are the effects of female genital mutilation in Nigeria?
The women who tell their stories in this book convey a spirit of hope and optimism in the midst of their struggles. The writer articulate their needs, fight for the right to be equal members of their communities, and document their endeavors to form alliances.
