A mérgezett nő

Stories that explore how a girl becomes a woman, and the roles women may take on or are pressed into. In everyday or extremely painful episodes of loneliness, dependence and vulnerability, their heroines fight for dignity, love and self-acceptance. Together they form a kind of coming-of-age story, as the women face the expectations of the people around them in different situations of life, and the stories speak with passion or resignation about mental and physical suffering, hurtful words, and changing bonds with family, parents, children and men.
