Juliana of Norwich

T.W: Sexual Assault

by Phoebe Gilmore

Juliana of Norwich was the first known woman author in British history to write a book called ‘Revelations of Divine Love’. In times of darkness my mother would say to me ‘All will be well, and all will be well, and every manner of thing will be well’ – a quote written by Mother Juliana. Being a woman means risking your life every day and I wanted to incorperate these words of comfort into this poetic expression.

Phoebe is a second-year English and Creative Writing student, she is originally from Devon and moved up to London at age 16 to finish her A-Levels and get a taste of the city life. Her writing career started at the tender age of 4, when she wrote and illustrated a helpful booklet titled ‘How To Annoy Boys’. She adores poetry and Shakespeare. Her most beloved possession is a collection of poems all written by women titled ‘She is Fierce’ which was given to her by her mother-in-law.
