As an American-Maltese writer, each “leħen”, each voice, is talking about the societal issues women face with no subtleties - anger, frustration & sadness are direct in these voices. A married woman is attracted to a young man, yet must deal with her post-breast cancer body. A woman describes her mother’s dementia. Another deals with the impacts of the patriarchy, how not being allowed to play a game of football means much more than society would admit.

This collection encompasses both non-fiction and fiction, featuring a diverse range of themes that highlight the importance of cultural assimilation, indigenous rights, race, identity, ageing, women’s protection, and the hardships faced by women.

As writers, our primary responsibility is to reflect and interpret happenings in our society; we must also pro- vide inspiration and guidance in our writings. Our job therefore, is to inform, to explain, to narrate, to entertain and to persuade. The function of a committed writer is also to reveal the world so that every reader loses their innocence and assumes all of the writer‘s responsibilities in front of it. The major aim of this anthology is to combat violence against women, using writ- ing for sensitization and awareness. Also, the anthology aims at changing community attitudes to violence against women.
