Writing is an important tool for women to voice their experiences - of identity, sexuality, marriage, love, family, life.

But often women find is hard to use traditional forms of writing and literary conventions to convey these personal experiences. Language has been created and shaped by men. Often women's experiences are told from a male perspectives.
