Secret Women
River Light press (Verlag)
978-1-0684674-0-0 (ISBN)
Why do some women either have to, or choose to, live secret lives? We all have secrets, but what drives these women to hide part of themselves from others?
This book explores the hidden lives of a diverse group of women who operate with a degree of subterfuge, mystery or deliberate deception. From Freemasonry to fetishism, from witches to activists and survivors, the reasons for secrecy are as different as the women themselves. Together, they represent a rich tapestry of female experience, sensitively recounted by the author as she delves into each woman’s secret.
