Elles Publishing House has announced the release of a new free digital book titled “Climate Gossip: Stories of Women and Food,” in partnership with the Friedrich Ebert Foundation (Egypt Office) and “Greenish,” edited and introduced by Hagar Hisham.
The book is the outcome of the workshop “Women’s Daily Archive: The Environment as a Feminist Issue,” which employed feminist ethnographic methodologies to document women’s everyday archives through writing about their lived environmental experiences, with a focus on the intersections between climate change, food security, water, and displacement.
The publication includes contributions from participants with diverse backgrounds, including journalists, development workers, researchers, and creative writers. It reconsiders what is often dismissed as “daily chatter,” revealing how small conversations can become spaces for knowledge production, collective awareness, and subtle forms of resistance in everyday life.
