For years, I found myself noticing women.

Not famous women.

Not extraordinary women.

Ordinary women.

The woman confidently buying a skirt without trying it on.

The grandmother sharing a milkshake with her granddaughter.

The woman walking her dog every morning.

Women whose names I didn’t know.

Women whose stories I could only guess at.

I started wondering about the lives hidden behind these brief encounters.

What had they survived?

Who had they loved?

What did they worry about when they couldn’t sleep?

What made them laugh?

Women I Don’t Know grew from those questions.

Each vignette is fictional, but each one began with a real moment of noticing.

A glimpse.

A gesture.

A passing interaction that stayed with me longer than expected.

The book isn’t really about strangers.

It’s about how connected we all are.

How often the women around us are carrying stories we cannot see.

And how the smallest details can reveal an entire life.

This collection is a love letter to ordinary women everywhere.

The ones we know.

The ones we used to know.

And the ones we pass every day without ever learning their names.
