Great female authors in an unheard mix of voices! I write, therefore I am a writer: If it were that simple, the stories in this collection wouldn't exist. Is poetry the great happiness, a monumental effort - or both? How do ideas come about, from what situations and encounters do female authors draw their inspiration? How do they find their form? And what is the experience of female writers in the literary world? In the stories, essays, and poems of this volume, the authors let us look over their shoulders as they write. They craft stories on the theme, describe their relationship with their characters, celebrate their work with language, reflect on the impact of words and stories, and share insights from the workshop of the book creator. They express their thoughts on the profession that earns them a living and sometimes even fame, as well as the hurdles they face.
