Description

Girls That Never Die by Safia Elhillo is a powerful and moving exploration of Muslim girlhood and shame, the dangers of being a woman, and the violences enacted against women's bodies.

The poet draws from her own life and family histories, as well as cultural myths and news stories, to create a new world where women escape their oppressors and reclaim their power. With magical realist imaginings and everyday traumas intertwined, Elhillo wrestles with the threats of violence that constrain our lives.

This is a book about finding freedom and questioning the status quo: what if I will not die? What will govern me then?
