In Search of Amazing Older Female Characters Page Turners with Katja 2024-03-19 | Welcome to today's celebration of older female protagonists across genres - everything from contemporary and literary fiction to the expansive universes of sci-fi and fantasy and the suspenseful twists of mystery. Why focus on characters aged over 40? Well, even though I find age a not entirely linear experience, I do think that whatever age or gender we are, most of us can see how empowering it is to have older women in the spotlight in literature and portrayed as the heroes of their stories. Age is merely a facet of our stories, not the boundary. Older women stepping into the spotlight in literature isn't just inspiring; it's a call to adventure for all of us, challenging perceptions and inviting readers of every age to discover, learn, and dream.So, let's dive in together. Grab your drink of choice and settle in as we celebrate stories where age is no barrier to adventure, mystery, or love.๐ป contact: pageturnerswithkatja@gmail.comCHAPTERS00:00 Intro01:07 Sci-Fi and Fantasy05:01 Contemporary & Literary10:27 Mystery & Suspense14:48 Interview Based16:40 Eccentrics18:46 Reading NextSocial Media:๐ instagram: instagram.com/pageturnerswithkatja๐ voxer: pageturnerswithkatjafreebies/discounts via my affiliates1) Get two month Free on Artlist; Everything You Need to Create Amazing Videos: The Best Music, SFX, Footage & Templateartlist.io/referral/2855090/Katja2) Get 10% off stationary with CultPenscultpens.mention-me.com/m/ol/ss1zt-katja-weinertMORE VIDEOSMORE VIDEOS๐ฌ How AI is Changing Publishingyoutu.be/yw0-WpGeNSM๐ฌViolets by Kyung Sook Shinyoutu.be/fJYH5KkijT0๐ฌElena Knows by Claudia Pinheiroyoutu.be/KvG8Vh6ouog๐ฌConcerning My Daughteryoutu.be/V4DewcaFXycMy Amazon wishlistamazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/1TQ0EJW0AZDAY?ref_=wl_shareHappy reading!
