‘Women Changing’ will be published on Monday 22nd of February 2027.
 
'In Women Changing, Fahey takes the physical and mental metamorphoses inherent in menopause into a force for shedding shame and societal shackles, revealing women who take back their  power and stand firmly in their formidable individuality.' -  Eden Royce, author of the Shirley Jackson Award-winning Hollow Tongue
 
'Tracy Fahey delivers insight, humour, understanding, and a bright, fizzing rage, and I absolutely adored every last minute of it. Read this book - read it now - then read it again!' - Alison Littlewood, author of A Cold Season and The Hidden People, winner of the Shirley Jackson Award for Short Fiction
 
‘Women Changing’ is a collection of surreal, darkly comic short stories that centre on female midlife metamorphosis. Drawing on native female folklore, mythological figures, and fairy tale archetypes, Fahey rewrites traditional narratives through the lens of menopausal fury. 
 
Positioned to appeal to readers of contemporary menopause literature as well as gothic and feminist retellings, ‘Women Changing’ will resonate with fans of writers such as Rachel Yoder, Joanna Harris, Miranda July, Sharon Blackie, and Angela Carter.
