In light of the recent Equality Court judgement on hate speech, the
importance of hearing women's voices in a society increasingly
dominated by male voices shouldn't be downplayed. The timely
release of this, the fifth highly successful annual POWA Breaking
the Silence collection, goes some way in describing the experiences
of women whose lives have defied prescribed boundaries; lives that
deliberately, or as a consequence of survival, transgress society's
defined norms. Women who defy such norms are often subjected to
discrimination, violence and exclusion. Sometimes, as in the case
of activists and artists, and just about any woman who resists the
prescribed mould of what it means to be a woman, the defiance is
intentional. Other times, however, the defiance is a by-product of
the often difficult task of survival, or even the quest to be true
to oneself. Despite the many judgements, prejudices and multiple
violations they face, women continue to work, live and strive to
love according to their own design.
