Call for Submissions: Women's Sovereignty and Body Autonomy Beyond Roe v. Wade

 

Girl God Books is accepting submissions for our upcoming Anthology of writing: Women's Sovereignty and Body Autonomy Beyond Roe v. Wade.

Personal essays or accounts (up to 2,000 words), academic papers, poetry, prayers, and art are welcome.

We want to hear how the recent overturning of Roe v. Wade in America impacts you, no matter where you live in the world. 

• What are your thoughts and feelings concerning the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent overturning of this 1973 landmark decision, which granted American women the right to determine what happens in and to their own bodies (bodily autonomy). 
• Share your thoughts on how this affects you, your daughters and granddaughters, your nieces, or your neighbors if you live in America; or how it causes concern for your own bodily autonomy if you live anywhere in this world. 
• Do you feel a sense of unrest, fear, or full-blown rage? 
• And how might such feelings empower you and motivate positive actions?
