m a n y _ g e n d e r e d _ m o t h e r s : f i v e _ r e c e n t _ e s s a y s

many gendered mothers is a project on literary influence featuring short essays by writers (of any/all genders) on the women, femme, trans, and non-binary writers who have influenced them, as a direct or indirect literary forebear.

This project is directly inspired by the American website Literary Mothers, created by editor Nadxieli Nieto and managing editor Nina Puro. While we hope that Literary Mothers might eventually return to posting new pieces, our site was created as an extension and furthering of their project (in homage, if you will), and not meant as any kind of replacement.

We've now more than forty essays posted! Our most recent include:

S. Nadja Zajdman on Ruth King Porter

Hannah Brown on Rumer Godden and Frances Hodgson Burnett

Sky Gilbert on Ayn Rand and Elena Ferrante

Emily Ursuliak on Suzette Mayr [pictured]

Erin Bedford on Dervla Murphy
