Loin du coeur
, collection of 21 short stories selected during a competition by the publishing house Beta Publisher and the network of associations Solidarité Femmes, was published on 25 November 2021.
Her favorite quote:
Shame on you, Iron man You challenge the femininity of your sisters Why is your hatred so bitter? Can't you hear their cries, their tears?
Why this book?
Because the back cover recalls this staggering figure
reported by the United Nations: 35% of women in the world have been victims of physical or sexual violence.
Because each of the 21 short stories selected
advocates fair and egalitarian values between the sexes, through well-conducted stories.
Because despite the theme that is both dark,
and unfortunately realistic, the different stories make us travel through very different universes.
Because this collection of short stories allows us
to discover different quality unpublished feathers and among them, perhaps future great authors.
Because part of the sales of this book
is donated to Solidarité femmes, a network of 73 specialized associations across France, whose objective is to get involved alongside women for their right to liberty, to integrity and equality.
