@andreamsmith.bsky.socialMy Dreadful Body, chapter III: Hair. “I was scared: I’d never cut my hair and was afraid I was committing a crime against all the women of my family line, destroying the memory of the ancestors who endured in my hair” 💇🏻♀️📚 #Djabbarova26 #MyDreadfulBody #WomenInTranslation

@andreamsmith.bsky.socialMy Dreadful Body, chapter II: Eyes. “Why should a woman’s eyes be bottomless? And able only to accommodate the world, having no right to change it.” 📚👁️ #Djabbarova26 #MyDreadfulBody #WomenInTranslation
