Not fraying at the edges: women, ageing and creativity.

This project explores the concept of écriture féminine - Hélène Cixous' term for women's writing - for a more contemporary moment, with specific consideration of concepts of ageing, creativity, self-expression, and inheritance along the matrilineal line. Experimentation is inherent in the creative writing practice as a way to challenge and rupture phallocentric modes and structures of academic discourse, poetry and autobiography.
