Opis

Fantasy writing, like literature in general, provides a powerful vehicle for challenging the status quo. This work explores the role of the portal in fantasy, investigating the ways in which magical nexus points, and movement between worlds, are used to illustrate real-world power dynamics, especially those impacting women and children.
