Hysteria 1 is an anthology of winning stories and poems from the Hysteria 2012 writing competition. Each reflects different aspects of things important to women, we share in the ups and downs of events which span time and experience. What it's like to lose a child, the reaction of spurned lovers, marriage and the rivalries of school friends. The poems are equally insightful, sharing the experiences of lost youth and looks; a sense of history in a children's home and the call to action that asks us to live life to the full, waving our hands in the air.
