Mad Women is a collection of ten fearless stories about Kenyan women who broke societal expectations and stepped outside the lines. Wives, daughters, lovers, and mothers who broke the rules of culture, religion, marriage, and morality.

This is not a book about perfect women. It's about the ones who dare to choose desire, the ones who speak too loudly, love too hard, and drink too much. The women in these stories are not empowered in a neat way. They're messy, contradictory, brave, reckless, tender, and sometimes unlikable.

Mad Women is funny, sad, defiant, and true, a mirror held up to a country that still believes a woman's strength is a form of madness. Joan Thatiah delivers stories that are raw, scandalous, and disarmingly human.
