Breaking the Glass Slipper is a podcast dedicated to exploring women and women's roles in speculative fiction.
About Breaking the Glass Slipper[]
This podcast series was inspired by writer Juliet McKenna who recently commented on her blog about the many so-called ‘best of’ genre fiction lists that were conspicuously lacking in entries written by women. Science fiction, fantasy, and horror are genres created and loved by women as much as men, and yet the majority of the dialogue surrounding them still suggests that women are in the minority. We are here to prove to all genre lovers that there is a place for female writers and great female characters amongst the men folk!
Co-hosted by Megan Leigh, Charlotte Bond and Lucy Hounsom
