Elhillo writes a new world: women escape their stonings by birds that carry the rocks away; slain girls grow into two, like the hydra of lore, sprouting too numerous to ever be eradicated; circles of women are deemed holy, protected. Ultimately, Girls That Never Die is about wrestling ourselves from the threats of violence that constrain our lives, and instead looking to freedom and questioning: [what if i will not die] [what will govern me then]"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Women $v Poetry. 650 0 $a Girls $v Poetry. 650 0 $a Women $x Violence against $v Poetry. 650 0 $a Muslim women $v Poetry. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Elhillo, Safia. $t Girls that never die $d New York : One World, 2022 $z 9780593229491 $w (DLC) 2021056604 941 $a 4 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417020252.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314024645.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240305043812.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010025145.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0AE990802A8711EDB7025AE94EECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
