Welcome to Women Get Lit!


Hey there, I'm Kasia, a passionate young Polish university student on a quest to unearth the hidden gems of literature.


As a young woman studying English, I have always been interested in discussions surrounding feminism. This series documents my journey of self-discovery, where I challenge the way I was taught to see and analyse literature at an all-girls school.


In each episode I explore a new book and theme that challenges women's representation across various genres and times. I discuss how literature written by and about women has shaped my understanding of myself, other women, men and the word around me. I navigate through my own internalised anxieties and misogyny, as I reshape my understanding of women through literature.


I discuss a range of literary texts, from Chaucer's Canterbury Tales Bronte's Jane Eyre, Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway to Radcliffe's Mysteries of Udolpho. This only names a few.


Women Get Lit isn't just about books; it's about diving headfirst into the themes that matter most. We'll discuss: marriage, creativity, violence against women, female voice, sexuality, and solidarity (its power and faults).


And the best part? I'm not alone on this literary adventure. It was important for me to capture a range of voices, perspectives and opinions. Joining me are university students, academics and even a therapist, each who have offered a unique perspective and insight into the world of books and studies.

  • Female Gossip, Chaucer and The Wife of Bath: A Male Academic's Perspective
    2023/09/21

    Today's featuring guest is Joel Grossman, a lecturer in Medieval and Renaissance Literature at the University of Surrey. Our literary journey takes us deep into the heart of Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales," with a keen focus on the captivating Wife of Bath.


    We discuss the Wife of Bath's bold and modern discourse on love, marriage, and the role of men in society. Join us as we explore the shockwaves she sends through her audience with her unconventional views, shedding light on the complexities of her character and the society she inhabited.


    We explore the challenges and nuances of how a male author like Chaucer portrays the female perspective. Joel brings his expertise to the forefront as we discuss the inherent problems and potential biases that arise when men attempt to authentically write from a female point of view.
