This lecture focuses on the achievements of women writers across the English-speaking world.
Texts written by women have often been ignored by contemporaries and in the literay canon due to the inferior position women have held in male-dominated societies. Global and feminist since its beginnings, Anglophone women’s writing has, however, flourished in many genres and different locations, encompassing diverse works linked by their struggles against multiple forms of subordination. In this lecture, we will pay attention to the multiple ways in which female authors, trans and non-binary writers in the English-speaking world have offered representations of social struggle and inequality while articulating possibilities for resistance. Focusing on postcolonialist, queer, performative, and intersectional feminist ways of thinking about the representation, we will unearth the long tradition of Anglophone women’s writing.
