‘Untamed will liberate women - emotionally, spiritually, and physically. It is phenomenal.’ (Elizabeth Gilbert, author of City of Girls and Eat Pray Love) For many years, Glennon Doyle denied her discontent. Then, while speaking at a conference, she looked at a woman across the room and fell instantly in love. Three words flooded her mind: There. She. Is. At first, Glennon assumed these words came to her from on high but soon she realised they had come to her from within. This was the voice she had buried beneath decades of numbing addictions and social conditioning. Glennon decided to let go of the world’s expectations of her and reclaim her true untamed self. Soulful and uproarious, forceful and tender, Untamed is both an intimate memoir and a galvanising wake-up call. It is the story of how one woman learned that a responsible mother is not one who slowly dies for her children, but one who shows them how to fully live. It is also the story of how each of us can begin to trust ourselves enough to set boundaries, make peace with our bodies, honour our anger and heartbreak, and unleash our truest, wildest instincts. Untamed shows us how to be brave. And, as Glennon insists, 'The braver we are, the luckier we get.'

When Elizabeth Gilbert’s personal memoir, Eat, Pray, Love, was published in 2006, it was met with tremendous critical and popular success, and eventually became an international bestseller as well as a feature film that grossed nearly $200M worldwide. But the book is also worthy of scholarly attention for its depiction of how female identity is confronted and reconstructed in postmodern society, under the influence of third wave feminism. Gilbert’s personal narrative also reveals the power of stories to present us with new possibilities for recreating our identities. Therefore, this paper will examine the following research questions: How does Eat, Pray, Love reflect the impact of postmodernism and third wave feminist thought on female identity? And how Gilbert’s interpretations and choices in her personal narrative present other women with new possibilities for ways of thinking and being in the world?

While reading Alexis Shotwell's compelling and thought-provoking book Against Purity: Living Ethically in Compromised Times, I was struck by a line in Hari Kunzru's novel White Tears in which one character remarks to another: "Why can't you accept there ain't no pure. There ain't no real. It's just people" (Kunzru 2017, 241). Shotwell implores us similarly, through careful theoretical moves, as well as tangible examination of lived cases, to accept that there ain't no pure.
An essay evaluating feminist theory through the movement's waves and the progressions it made in them by criticizing the feminist work of Virginia Woolf, mainly focusing on To the Lighthouse and A Room of Ones Own. Defines the dated and original idea of feminism that prominent authors of the time advocated for which excluded women of color, women with disabilities, and women of lower classes.
