Feminine fierceness is the focus of this criti-creative, cross-genre panel, which will touch on a multitude of encounters—with wildness and wilderness, the idea of feralness, resistance/challenges to traditional gender roles, and also the idea of channeling fierceness and strong female voices. We draw inspiration from a vast catalog of movements and writers: l’ecriture feminine, second-wave feminism, riot grrrl and zines, including small feminist chapbook presses like Dusie and Guillotine, websites like Delirious Hem and Girl Gang Illuminati, new narrative, ecopoetics, the gurelesque. And of course we’d be remiss to not mention Dodie Bellamy’s touchstone, The Barf Manifesto, and the trails of reflexive vomitous feminine writing this has inspired. We also want to investigate the idea of kindness/gentility and how this is often misconstrued as weakness, are there ways for fierceness and gentility to coexist? We would like to expose strong female voices and the difficulties they sometime face in terms of critical reception.
