PIONEERS - They lived centuries ago, but they traveled to the most remote corners of the world and exposed humanity's darkest sins, such as slavery. A look at great minds ahead of their times which happened to be female.
GOTHIC NOVELISTS - Supernatural events, ghosts, haunted houses, darkness, madness, secrets, curses...The most twisted pens of the 18th and 19th century hidden between the pleats of women's skirts.
SAPPHIC VOICES - The beginning of the 20th century brought with it the first evident representations of lesbianism in Anglo-American literature. From British all-girls boarding schools to borderlands and post-modernity, we will examine here the literature against invisibility.
CONTEMPORARY WOMEN WRITERS - In constant dialogue with their ancestors and with an innovative writing style, contemporary women writers prove us there is still a lot to be discovered in the field of literature.
