Not Like All the Other Women

A powerful call to arms for women to support each other against patriarchal values, instead of tearing each other apart with the violence of their words.

When Maria Pourchet becomes a mother for the first time, giving birth to a baby girl alone in a hospital, it gives her a moment to reflect on the violence inflicted on women. Neither only physical, nor only perpetrated by the patriarchy, this violence is also present in the language women employ against one another. In a poignant letter to her daughter, she her hopes that things will be different for her, so that her life will not be like that of all other women (hence the title).
