Author Description

When women break, they don't shatter-they transform. A powerful collection of psychological and emotional short stories exploring identity, loss, trauma, and transformation through women's lives. Twelve unforgettable narratives revealing resilience, healing, and inner strength behind silence. Women of Life unfolds the unseen and silent depths of womanhood through twelve intimate stories where generational pain turns into awareness and breaking points become moments of awakening. From a mother who transforms grief into grace, to a trans woman discovering love and compassion, to a forgotten village story whispered among gravestones- these narratives reveal the hidden strength behind a woman's smile. Written with sensitivity and realism in clear, fluid language, Women of Life traces the psychological journey from despair to inner strength. Through quiet yet powerful storytelling, the book invites readers to witness how healing emerges not despite pain, but through it. By Turkish author Özlem Şaylan, Women of Life reminds us that even the deepest wounds can become a source of light.
