Women

Women invites readers into Emily White’s most intimate gallery yet, where feminine desire unfolds in quiet showers, crowded concerts, and lingering looks that say everything without a word. Her manga-style illustrations celebrate softness and strength, tracing the subtle awakening of a woman who has long kept her fantasies hidden. The title story follows a narrator who once believed her longing for women would remain safely imagined—until Sandra appears at the gym, dark hair tied back, eyes steady and curious.

Steam fogs the locker room mirrors as bare skin gleams under fluorescent light; a casual touch while passing a bottle feels deliberate, electric. “Here, we could even kiss,” Sandra whispers later in Lisbon, their voices blending with the echo of Madonna’s anthem. Between friendship and confession lies a fragile, shimmering possibility. In Emily White’s world, desire is not loud—it is luminous.
