A Strong Woman

By Valentine Gallardo. Published by Field Mouse Press. 

Softcover, 118 pages, Colour, 2025. 

Myth meets modern life in this collection of new and previously published short stories by Valentine Gallardo. Blending humor and fantasy with dreamlike palettes and lived-in dialogue, these surreal vignettes explore the contradictions of modern womanhood through tales of COVID lockdown parties, werewolves, deserts, and self-sabotage. Absurd yet comforting, A Strong Woman & Other Stories is a mirror for anyone who feels out of step with the world.
