Write a monologue!  You can use any story, rant, or poem that’s close to your heart that relates to you or your experiences as a woman. Or use these themes to brainstorm and submit mini monologues! You might find that they inspire longer stories, but we’d love your fresh first impressions, too! ANYONE who identifies as a woman or as nonbinary is welcome to tell their story!
