[lightgreen22]

Yes so hi here I'm new to prose in fact this tournament coming up in a few weeks will be my first because I usually do SC, LD, USX. I having trouble finding a good prose to perform, I want something dramatic from a woman's point of view but not something were she gets raped, abused, cancer, ect. I'm looking for something were the lady is not the victim but hey maybe she's even the antagonist of it:o

Google feminist writers and start reading. Although the female could be viewed as the victim OR someone gaining their freedom for a moment, Chopin's "The Story of an Hour" is awesome...maybe too short though. I would look at works from the early 1900s and the Victorian Period. You tend to get a lot of literature of females questioning their role in society. The novel Lady Audley's Secret would be perfect for your goal if you took the time to read the novel and make a cutting. It's melodrama at it's finest with a killer female.

Also, I did a quick google search and got this:

"Some Famous Feminist Short Stories Writer are:
Margaret Atwood : In her work (surfacing),(1972). She delved deep into the world of women to searches the meaning of her life.
l Elizabeth Bowen : Her stories mainly focussed on personal relationships and its problem. Her stories often talks about internal conflicts. Some of her famous works are, The House in Paris(1935), The Death of the Heart(1938).
l Mavis Gallant : Green Water,Green Sky(1959),is a story which deals with Mother-Daughter Relationship. Other stories written by her are: A Fairly Good Time(1970), My Heart is Broken(1964).
Shirley Jackson : “The Lottery”(1948),tells us a story about human sacrifice.
