Course Description

This module will explore the various ways in which feminism can be translated to creative writing. We will uncover elements of feminism in works by writers such as Zoë Brigley, Fiona Benson, Natalie Ann Holborow and Margaret Atwood, amongst others. During this online, self-paced, course, students will be encouraged to embolden the women of fairy tale, myth, history, and their own lives and discuss what feminism means to them as writers. Through prompts and writing exercises, students will challenge misogynistic portrayals of women in creative work, bring the marginalised to the forefront, and give voice to the silenced.
