ENTRE DONAS
Ten stories by ten Galician women writers who range in narrative style, experience, recognition and other aspects, but are united by their willingness to speak up, with their own voice, placing women at the centre of the story. Writers who conjure here scenarios and stories that disprove the arguments of domination. Some revisit old stories from a feminine perspective, others find a new explanation for classic archetypes. Others give a voice to those who are still in the closet of occupied "gamer" territories. They use irony as a symbolic weapon of combat in stories about basilisk-women, the difficulty of finding Adam's extra bone, Herminia's lentils with bromide ... They explore with empathy "unwanted" re-motherhood and remind us that "You should never confuse reality with the desire of men "
