The Gender of the Written Word | TEDx

This talk focusses on the idea of resisting the label of being a female writer yet acknowledging the paradoxicality that leads to women’s writing being defined by their gender. It also challenges the traditional notion of creativity being a divine act dependent on the appearance of the muse and the tortured isolation of an artist to mature their creative process- a privilege often limited to male writers.
