Fiction
WITH BARE HANDS
by Amandine Dhée
Description
Amandine Dhée explores the feminine condition 2.0 from the perspective of body empowerment and sexuality. She tells the emotional emancipation experienced by a young girl when faced to society’s diktats about her desires. Fluctuating between her memories and her present questioning, she portrays the free individual she aspires to be and the child and young girl she remembers being, from her first kiss to maternity. A powerful tribute to a new generation of feminists.
