The Women Storytellers Said… What Shahrazad Didn’t Say is comprised of a collection of stories narrated by various female speakers and inspired by a supposed collection of tales written by Shahrazad herself a long time ago. The female narrators find the collection of tales in an old castle, read them together, and write a gender-sensitive reworking of these tales inspired by the famous alf layla tradition (A Thousand and One Nights). The book is written by the She Said: Gender Sensitive Storytelling Workshop in the Women and Memory Forum. It is a workshop comprised of a group of women writers who use storytelling as a means of empowering women in stories and giving them positive and effective roles.
