ABOUT THE BOOK

“They tried to burn her down. Instead, she became the fire.” “Women Hold the Flame” is a powerful and defiant declaration of female strength in a world that silences women. In this collection, raw poetry gives voice to the trauma of patriarchy, the quiet rage of survival, and the indomitable spirit of women who transcend it. These poems, rich in striking imagery and fierce emotion, ignite dialogue surrounding resilience, self-empowerment, and the persistent efforts to undermine women. To the woman carrying the weight of others’ mistakes. To the mothers raising responsible sons. To the daughters who deserve to know—your body, your happiness, and your power have always been yours. May these words resonate with you, inspiring you to pursue your dreams and live authentically. This flame is yours. Hold it close. Let it burn.
