ROAR / CECELIA AHERN

"Thirty women. Thirty stories." -- Cover.

The woman who slowly disappeared -- The woman who was kept on the shelf -- The woman who grew wings –
The woman who was fed by a duck –
The woman who found bite marks on her skin –

The woman who thought her mirror was broken –
The woman who was swallowed up by the floor and who met lots of other women down there too –

The woman who ordered the seabass special –
The woman who ate photographs –

The woman who forgot her name –
The woman who had a ticking clock –
The woman who sowed seeds of doubt –
The woman who returned and exchanged her husband –
The woman who lost her common sense –
The woman who walked in her husband's shoes –

The woman who was a featherbrain –
The woman who wore her heart on her sleeve –

The woman who wore pink –
The woman who blew away –
The woman who had a strong suit –

The woman who spoke woman –
The woman who found the world in her oyster –

The woman who guarded gonads –

The woman who was pigeonholed –
The woman who jumped on the bandwagon –
The woman who smiled –

The woman who thought the grass was greener on the other side –
The woman who unravelled –
The woman who cherry-picked –
The woman who roared.
