Growing Up Perempuan

Candid experiences of Muslim women's resilience.

If you're drawn to powerful narratives from diverse voices, "Growing Up Perempuan" offers a poignant window into the unique challenges faced by women in the Muslim community. It's not just the cultural tidbits that are eye-opening—it's the raw honesty and the personal victories that stitch together a tapestry of resilience and defiance. This book could redefine courage for you, making it a source of both solidarity and inspiration.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Growing up as a woman is hard. Growing up as a woman in the Muslim community is harder. In a world still filled with superstitions, if you die during childbirth you become a vampiric ghost and if you survive you might get attacked by a flying ghost. You collect experiences in the workplace that should be office satire but aren’t. You face constant judgement, try to live up to endless expectations, and somehow…still fall short. Growing Up Perempuan is a collection of stories written by women, for women. This book offers stories of love and loss, strength and endurance, confidence and courage - stories that inspire and empower. This is a book about challenging the status quo and learning to chart our own paths instead of having the world define them for us.
