        This flash fiction collection titled ‘My Women’ is, in fact, a collection of women’s voices. The voices  of those who have been brutally silenced, those who have had their dearest taken away, those who  have persevered and fought for themselves, and those who have broken down and given up. These  succinct, emotionally charged, brutal and sometimes excruciatingly difficult stories portray experiences of life during wartime, each so very different but equally poignant. This book is illustrated by artworks created after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. They complement the flash fiction written by the author with their visual narratives, transforming ‘My Women’ into our very own women. Each of the women who contributed to this book — the translator, illustrators, editors, the layout  designer and the publisher — felt a personal connection with the nameless protagonists, finding something within the stories that resonated deeply with them. We hope that readers will also feel similar emotions. Working on this book, we wanted to support and embrace every Ukrainian woman, telling  her, ‘We stand with you, sister.’ ‘My Women’ is a book about each of us — and for every one of us.
