The Elpis Pages celebrates work by and about women.

Long ago, Pandora's box opened to reveal a multitude of evils. Only hope was left behind. Her name was Elpis.

As we find ourselves in tumultuous and uncertain times, the thing we must cling to now more than ever is HOPE.

Bringing together poetry, short stories, flash fiction, creative nonfiction, essays, and more from self-identifying women worldwide, these pages explore the nuanced complexity of womanhood.

Whether it be a howl or whisper, these women are using their voices however they can.

Sometimes all we have is hope.
