Women
search for happiness no matter where they live. They want to build a life,
family, career in order to insure a wholesome future. But in much of the world
the patriarchal cultures women are born into simply nip at a woman’s potential
and brutally guards the slave-like position that women occupy.
Women
struggle as they are bought and sold as property. Their inheritance of an
unequal and corrupt system that works against them. All while being enforced by
domestic violence which women must deal with alone.
These
issues, and so much more, are addressed by the voices of real women in ex-USSR nations.
We included anonymous letters that will touch and terrify you on a personal
level, while learning what women still have to deal with today.
What Inspired Me to Write My Book
By
Chris Brine of Brine Books Publishing
To find inspiration for me had its
own natural progression. When my wife was telling me about what she had
experienced within her home nation of Ukraine, I had thought that it would be
interesting – at first – to collect stories and publish them. Eventually it had
progressed into contacting women in ex-USSR nations and trying to get their
stories published. It wasn't an easy task, but the more that I had learned
about the situation that women face there the more dedicated to this task I had
become. Of course, my wive's help was an absolute necessity so we had become
partners in this important project.
With my education in publishing and
creative writing, and her understanding of Russian and Ukrainian languages and
cultures, we had set out to create an important manuscript that was to be a
collection of real stories from the points of view of women in those nations.
We also had set out to contact organizations within those countries to build up
partnerships so as to send them a portion of our profits.
Again, as I said before, this wasn't
an easy task. There is a mind set in those countries to keep one's problems
within the family and not publicly air their dirty laundry, which is exactly
the phrase that they like to use. Heck, with domestic violence women even
sometimes state “if he hits me, then he must love me”. It is a sick way of
looking at things, but the patriarchal upbringing enforces this sad view of the
society around them. It took a lot of work and dedication for us to find these
letters, but over time we had managed to receive what we had sought for.
Not only this but there were also
problems with finding a decent non-profit or charity. Many ignored us, and some
had even told us that women's equality was inherently evil. These reactions
were completely foreign to me, but despite that it could push some down it had,
in fact, inspired me further to enact and do something about this ignorant
attitude that exists in the world.
This had all come toward the
resolution of establishing a publishing house. All of these conflicts made us
decide to not stop at just our one book, but to create many others that will
stand up for and fight for various human rights abuses around the world whether
it is against the LGBT, women, those of another color, or of another ideology.
We had decided to establish a publishing house where the sole purpose is to go
to war against these ignorant and destructive personal genocides within
different sects of society.
But then this all comes to my
original influence. Honestly? It was my wife. If I had never met her then I
would have never gone down this path. I would have never learned the things
that I did. She opened my eyes to the world, and now there is no going back.
