OCR: Paper 2 Comparative and contextual study: Women in literature
With Girl, Woman, Other(2019), Bernardine Evaristo became the first Black woman to win the Booker prize in its then 50-year history. The novel depicts the lived experience of 12 women protagonists, mainly Black British women, whose stories are intertwined. Evaristo elevates the voices of women and girls, taking the reader from the past to the present and projecting visions of the future. Through these women, Evaristo proclaims, ‘We [Black women] are all things and everything. You cannot dismiss us, nor can you easily define us’ (De León 2019).
