Abstract
My project is a collection of short stories centered around the experiences of women. It seeks to shed light on their struggles and bring unity between women who see reflections of themselves in the literature. Throughout, it prompts readers to examine their treatment of women, whether it be themselves or others. The stories suggest that we hold women to high standards and high responsibility, yet we treat them with reduced respect and understanding. My works seek to raise questions about what behaviors we have normalized, and the impact they have on millions of women’s lives. They also attempt to provide solidarity for women who have felt alone or isolated in their experiences. My writing comes from both personal experience and research, and I hope it will bring new perspectives to those who read it.
