The Bloody Chamber
Reconsidering the stories we tell about women.
The Bloody Chamber is where I pull at the threads of women’s stories to see what unravels.
Through essays, research and creative writing, I explore the stories we tell about women, in history, popular culture and the world around us.
About me
I’m Rue. I have an undergraduate degree in History & Philosophy and a Masters in Gender Studies. Hitting my mid-40s, I realised that the things I enjoy reading and watching, and the genres I love, often failed to represent me. I felt a growing dissonance with the games I was playing and the books I was reading. I found myself pulling on that thread and exploring what representation means to me.
