WATCHING WOMEN & GIRLS, the debut collection of stories from our editor @daniellepender, is out on the 23rd June with @4thestatebooks and available to pre-order now with a cover featuring the beautiful work of @lauracallaghanillustration 👀 When you look at a woman, what do you see? 💥 This debut collection movingly explores how women and girls are looked at, look at one another, and look at themselves, and how living as an object can shape their passions, fears, and joys. With a clear eye and dark humour, Danielle considers sex, parenting, grief and class as lenses for the ways in which the world watches women ― and how women are always watching back. 🖤 A wedding day brings back memories of sisterhood and betrayals; a motorway service station burger bar is the site of explosive violence, but also strange bonds; a trip home forces a reminder of a life-changing, lost friendship; a woman confronts her own infidelity; an artist celebrates a life spent in observation. 💓 Pre-order at the link in our bio. 🍉
