What did I want to gain out of creating The Bitch Theory?
I founded The Bitch Theory to provide the much needed platform for non-males to share their work and provide opportunities for upcoming writers and to create a safe place for activism, but my passions extend far beyond this. I am a writer, both non-fiction but most often in creative works. I won the CYA Young Writer’s award in 2024, I also write poetry and short-stories. I own many typewriters. I also have my own personal library (who’s counting?) of over 600 books, so there is never a dull moment.
I don’t have a fixed dream and my aspirations are not linear, but I do know that I want to inspire change. I want to write, to be a lawyer, to volunteer, to dedicate myself to changing the world, to be a symbol of law reform and progress the radical feminist movement in Australia. I have been an advocate for change and freedom for as along as I’ve been conscious. When I read my first piece of radical feminist theory, I knew this was it, that this was me. I only hope to provide others with that same feeling and to build a supportive and motivated community who are not afraid to be a bitch.
