Disgrifiad Cymraeg / Welsh Description
Wedi'i geni i fyd o bicedau a thlodi, mae Girlo Wolf yn breuddwydio am fod yn fardd. Ond mae heriau iechyd meddwl ac isfyd o ryw, cyffuriau ac alcohol yn bygwth ei rhwystro, hyd nes y bo'n darganfod mai geiriau yw'r union beth sydd eu hangen arni. Stori gredadwy am daith un wraig at ymbweru ei hun, wedi'i gosod yn y Gymru ôl-ddiwydiannol.

Her research focused on the disparities between social ontology and historical realism from a proletarian, feminist standpoint and led to her debut novel The Crazy Truth (Seren, 2024).

She is an advocate for equality, representation and social equality in politics, publishing and the arts.
