Mother-Writers: a conversation with writer Kate Jones

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.'

The Matterhorn: truth in fiction
The Matterhorn with Dr. Kathleen Waller
The Matterhorn is for writers and curious minds from author and academic Dr. Kathleen Waller.
Each week in this new season, Kathleen shares a chapter of her serialized novels - A Hong Kong Story & An Interpreter in Vienna - and uses it as a catalyst to discuss the layers of literature and how you can use these in your own writing.
The Matterhorn mission is to bring books and texts to life through an interdisciplinary and international approach as well as help writers take risks and create from knowledge.
