She was once the top of her class, the brightest star - now silenced, dismissed, and erased. In Was She an Obedient Daughter or Just a Slave? The author Tasnim Munaunveils a raw, haunting collection of poetry that refuses to whisper. These poems do not ask for permission - they scream, they weep, and they burn with truth. From the stifling roles forced upon women to the brutal silence surrounding child abuse and institutional hypocrisy, this collection explores: The emotional cost of being "the good daughter" in a patriarchal societyThe buried trauma of a child betrayed by her own familyThe empty promises and performative compassion of global institutions like the United NationsEach poem is a protest, a confession, a wound made visible. Each line dares to ask: What is the price of obedience? Of silence? Of survival? This is not just poetry. This is lived experience turned into ink. This is what it sounds like when a heart breaks and decides to speak. For readers who crave truth over comfort, who carry their own scars quietly, and who are tired of being told to stay quiet, this book is for you.
