Words from a Granary is the second anthology of short stories by Ugandan women to be published by the Ugandan Women Writers' Association, Femrite. It is the outcome of a three-year programme of workshops geared towards equipping creative women writers in a difficult social and intellectual environment.

Talking Tales
ISBN: 9789970700219 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) In Talking Tales a variety of women tell their stories in prose and poetry. They cast their nets wide, hauling in themes that celebrate as much as they castigate and mourn. There is the delight of discovering oneself on the cusp of womanhood, and of hearing about success in the fight for women's emancipation. There is also the wonder at the restorative power of love. However, the murkier side of human life is explored too: the failed search for love, unwanted advances, misunderstood affinities, incest, betrayal, disillusionment, unfruitful enterprise, domestic violence, corruption, brutality,...

Taboo. Voices of Women in Uganda on Female Genital Mutilation: Voices of Women in Uganda on Female Genital Mutilation
ISBN: 9783981386356 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 170 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The oral histories, short stories and poems in this collection in which women in Uganda speak out revolve around the inhumanity of FGM (female genital mutilation). Tradition shrouds the practice in mystery but the societal norms which dictate such cruel interventions in women's sexual development don't take their welfare into consideration. It is hoped that after reading these perturbing testimonies by FGM victims, women and young girls in all parts of Uganda -- and the world-- will take more vigorous steps to denounce the barbaric tradition and reclaim their rights, lives and enjoyment of...

Written against the backdrop of the turbulent 1980s, Cassandra is a self-confident and ambitious Ugandan girl who is determined to reach the top without the aid of men.

Often it is the tragedies that befall us that bring out the best in us in terms of creative talent. This is reflected in this short-story anthology.

Here you will find the voices of women from different parts of Uganda joined together by a commonality of concerns. Some of the twelve works...

Pumpkin Seeds and Other Gifts
ISBN: 9789970700226 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 132 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The names of those who penned the writings in this impressive collection alone tell half the story. They tell their stories in different modes. They run the whole gamut - they tell of defiance, and spin hilarious tales of elopement and wry tales of despair, loss and lovelessness. Some of the poems lift up the heart, and others peel back the blinkers that blind our eyes. There is the romantic, the macabre and the surreal. The writings never leave you indifferent - you are likely to take sides, to get angry, to laugh, to cry, and to think of a lot that goes on inside the human heart.
