Jamila Rizvi and Astrid Edwards are back with Season 2 of Anonymous Was A Woman.

Chapter 1: First up, Jamila and Astrid consider the idea of solitude and creativity in 2020.

Chapter 2: Jamila and Astrid take a look back at Virginia’s Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own (a quote from which serves as the name of the podcast). How does the work stack up in 2020, and what else could we be reading (hint, we should all read Women, Race and Class by Angela Y. Davis and Talkin’ Up to the White Woman by Aileen Moreton-Robinson)?

Chapter 3:  Staying with the idea of creativity in solitude, Astrid looks forward to the release of Fire, Flood and Plague (an Australian anthology edited by Sophie Cunningham), with excerpts currently published in The Guardian. Jamila introduces Together in a Sudden Strangeness (a poetry anthology edited by Alice Quinn in the United States).

Recommendations: Astrid recommends The Life to Come by Michelle de Kretser. Jamila is currently cooking non-stop and recommends Yotam Ottolenghi’s Flavour, Gizzi Erskine’s Slow: Food worth taking time over and Sami Tamimi’s Falastin: A cookbook.

Join us on Thursday for an interview on solitude with Wiradjuri author Tara June Winch.
