Faces of Feminism and local writers' group Kill Your Darlings are seeking original, fiction work or critical essays that engage or challenges the role of imagination in literary work. Themes could include: the effect of stereotypes on character development, literature as a vehicle to new futures, imagination as key to dismantling systems of oppression, the race/class/gender of the author as delimiting or expanding ways in which the work is read, feminism and womanism realized in literature, etc. Anyone may submit.
All submissions must be received no later than Friday, March 2nd and emailed to facesoffeminism@gmail.com
