Welcome to Women Get Lit!Hey there, I'm Kasia, a passionate young Polish university student on a quest to unearth the hidden gems of literature.As a young woman studying English, I have always been interested in discussions surrounding feminism. This series documents my journey of self-discovery, where I challenge the way I was taught to see and analyse literature at an all-girls school. In each episode I explore a new book and theme that challenges women's representation across various genres and times. I discuss how literature written by and about women has shaped my understanding of myself, other women, men and the word around me. I navigate through my own internalised anxieties and misogyny, as I reshape my understanding of women through literature. I discuss a range of literary texts, from Chaucer's Canterbury Tales Bronte's Jane Eyre, Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway to Radcliffe's Mysteries of Udolpho. This only names a few.Women Get Lit isn't just about books; it's about diving headfirst into the themes that matter most. We'll discuss: marriage, creativity, violence against women, female voice, sexuality, and solidarity (its power and faults).And the best part? I'm not alone on this literary adventure. It was important for me to capture a range of voices, perspectives and opinions. Joining me are university students, academics and even a therapist, each who have offered a unique perspective and insight into the world of books and studies.Follow me on Instagram @womengetlit @apolishgalsthoughts Hosted on Acast.
