The Right to Write: a Series of Female Author Debuts #be_more

We will discuss why debut texts transform the literary space, how women authors find their voice and overcome the fear of a “first book,” why writers are not “chosen” but those who have something to say and dare to speak, and how Ukraine’s women’s literary community creates opportunities for debut authors, gives them visibility and support, challenges stereotypes of “chosen” writers, introduces new themes into literature, and develops professions around the book.
