Feminist Spaces Summer 2023: her body
Feminist Spaces is embodying a theme this year: her body. Her body takes up space. Her body is objectified. Her body has experienced assault. Her body is motherhood. Her body is medically undervalued. Her body has lost its autonomy. Her body has a voice. We are looking for submissions that affirm, challenge, question, and manifest the idea of her body in an original and provoking manner. Follow the theme to your creative ability. Or don’t.
Feminist Spaces has a new editorial team! We are pleased to announce that we are now accepting general submissions for our next issue.
Feminist Spaces welcomes work across genres and disciplines and invites students, faculty, and independent scholars to submit academic papers, creative writing, and artistic pieces that address topics in feminist, gender, sexuality, or women’s studies.

-
Feminism in politics and/or political discourse

Feminist theory, practice, and politics

Please ensure that all written submissions adhere to the guidelines and conventions set forth by the Chicago Manual of Style (17th edition).
