'Reading a book is like re-writing it for yourself. You bring to a novel, anything you read, all your experience of the world. You bring your history and you read it in your own terms.'- Angela Carter

A gender journal.


My course at university is basically focused on gender and all of its encompassing issues due to the modules (classes) I've chosen to study. I've always been interested in gender and how it relates to society, the portrayal of it in literature and how it functions in my every day life. I'd never actually stopped to think how it impacts on my every day life and the issues that are raised through this. My lecturer for my Gender and Culture and Introduction requested that we keep a gender journal for the week and it has opened my eyes to the stereotypes which surround us daily. I thought I'd share it with you guys :) it's really interested me!
