women's narratives
Tales by her
Women's narratives are stories, accounts, or literary works told from women's perspectives or centering women's experiences.
The term appears in academic and literary contexts to describe writing that foregrounds female subjectivity, often in contrast to male-dominated literary traditions: The course explores women's narratives from the Victorian era.
It may also refer more broadly to how women's stories are told and received in culture.
