The Brief
Womanhood has always been a part of this world. No matter the sex or the species. We implore you to explore womanhood in any capacity, whether through contemporary poetry or through fantastical short stories. We want to know how womanhood has empowered you, how it has set challenges, how it affects you as an outsider, and how you can explore the sapphic side of womanhood. We want to create a safe space for women to explore their gender, their experiences and life. Through any genre we want to celebrate both the positives and limitations of womanhood. What obstructions does a woman go through, the true realities?
