Bearded ladies
Synopsis
Kate Grenville's collection of short stories introduces readers to a world where women grapple with their physical appearances and societal roles. Each narrative delves into the lives of 'bearded ladies' — women who are literally or metaphorically outside the norm. The stories explore themes of identity, self-acceptance, and the often-unseen struggles of those who defy conventional beauty standards.
