Requests:  0 Summary:  Between 2005 and 2009, in a remote religious Mennonite colony, over a hundred girls and women were knocked unconscious and raped, often repeatedly, by what many thought were ghosts or demons, as a punishment for their sins. As the women tentatively began to share the details of the attacks -- waking up sore and bleeding and not understanding why -- their stories were chalked up to 'wild female imagination.' Women Talking is an imagined response to these real events. Eight women, all illiterate, without any knowledge of the world outside their colony and unable even to speak the language of the country they live in, meet secretly in a hayloft with the intention of making a decision about how to protect themselves and their daughters from future harm. They have two days to make a plan, while the men of the colony are away in the city attempting to raise enough money to bail out the rapists (not ghosts as it turns out but local men) and bring them home. How should we live? How should we love? How should we treat one another? How should we organize our societies? These are questions the women in Women Talking ask one another.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hilo Public Library Large Type LT Toews Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Large Type LT Toews Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Large Type LT Toews Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Large Type LT Toews Checked In Add Copy to MyList Library For The Blind and Print Disabled Large Type LT Toews Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Large Type LT Toews Checked In Add Copy to MyList
