Man up! Creative writing competition for Aspiring Writers between 18 – 25

Man Up! highlights stories of women in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries who stepped into male roles. By picking up a pen, pistol or sword, they broke with convention to survive and thrive.

Out of necessity or choice, to seek glory or escape the fetters of a restrictive life – they kept control over their inheritance, unashamedly sought fame, adopted fake names, took to the high seas, or even joined the army. To meet some of these pioneering women, you can view the exhibition online.

We are now looking for short stories and poems inspired by the women and stories in Man Up! Entries can be entirely fictional or based on fact.
