Mother-Writers: a conversation with writer Kate Jones

The Matterhorn with Dr. Kathleen Waller

Today, I’m speaking with Kate Jones on the topic of Mother-Writers. Kate holds an MA in 20th Century Women’s War Narratives and writes an online publication called A Narrative Of Their Own which you can find on Substack or at the link in this episode information.

Kate is also a mother of two and writes specifically about the narratives of 20th century women writers and the ways these intersect with current culture. She is particularly interested in the ways in which women's narratives continue to inform conversations around gender, parenting, and feminism.'
