The book "Josephine" is an illustrated story that speaks about personal liberation: "We have to get rid of everything we know to imagine and accept whatever new is coming ... Our daily actions lay the foundation for societies to come." Josephine. A pathway to freedom is an illustrated tale for grownups that narrates the story of a young woman and her life path towards freedom. More than that, it aims to inspire its readers to never give up looking for the pure essence of their precious self. The book is introduced with a preface that addresses the importance of freeing your mind and thoughts, in a society that subtly tempts you to do otherwise, and it closes with a special, imagined letter from one of the author's favourite writers, Virginia Woolf.
