Story Works Round Table | Conversations About Craft

SWRT 331 | Taking Up Space with Susan Swan


Listen Later

In this week's Story Works Round Table, Alida welcomes Susan Swan, an acclaimed novelist and professor emerita at York University, to join us and discuss her new memoir, Big Girls Don't Cry. As Susan reads an excerpt from her book, she invites us into her world of growing up as a tall girl in a society that often discourages women from taking up space. We delve into themes of body image, the societal expectations placed on women, and the journey of finding one's voice and identity. Join us for a thought-provoking conversation on the importance of asserting oneself in a world that often tries to diminish women's presence.
