Writing Women Characters (an essay)

Posted on March 4, 2015 by Kate Elliott

I have written a long essay on Writing Women Characters, published on Tor.com

“To suggest that “inequality” or “violence” is the only or the most important thing in portraying women’s lives in a reconstructed past is a profoundly incomplete representation of a much richer territory.”
