“A dialogue among women that inspires, excites, and touches the soul” - The Guardian

Floral Publishing and Brainfood Publishers present the latest book by Elizabet Philippouli, a collection of original letters from esteemed women around the world. A collective work aimed at motivating and empowering other women to boldly claim their rights and goals.

Elizabet Philippouli transforms these letters into a form of “collective voice” on social issues such as gender equality, the refugee crisis, the LGBTQ movement, violence against women, racism, and the COVID-19 pandemic. How does a woman build her self-esteem? How do we negotiate traumas and emotional wounds from our childhood? How do we silence the inner voices of doubt and achieve inner balance by listening to the voice of our soul?

Politicians, actresses, writers, activists, entrepreneurs, journalists, and artists from 19 different countries share their personal stories filled with genuine emotions and significant victories through great challenges.

The multi-award-winning novelist Elif Shafak writes a letter to New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, British television presenter and activist June Sarpong addresses her role model, famous fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg, Jordanian Princess Sumaya writes to her two grandmothers, French journalist Marianne Pearl addresses the 'anonymous' woman, and English entrepreneur Annabel Karmel reveals the pain from the loss of her first child.

Specifically for the Greek edition, letters from the following were included in the original edition:

• Mariana V. Vardinoyannis to her mother, Evangelia
• Eva Kaili to her sister, Mandalena Kaili
• Siá Kosiόni to the 'Invisible Girls'
• Mimi Denisi to her mother
• Vicky Kourmouzi-Praise to Melina Mercouri
