'If you think it's hard being a white woman in Australia, try being a black woman.'

Sono trascorsi quindici anni dalle vicende narrate in questo audiolibro. Figlie di quell’anno zero che fu il luglio del 2001, quando il vertice del G8 di Genova si trasformò in un sabba di violenze e abusi da parte delle forze dell’ordine nelle piazze in cui si erano radunati migliaia di manifestanti contro la globalizzazione.
