Abstract

In July 2022, I sat down with seven female secondary school students and a colleague from my department to think about a character named Gretel and to play a writing game that I had created especially: Gretel, Redesigned (Holdstock, 2022). In a classroom on the first floor of CentreTown Academy, the school where I worked as a teacher of English, we sat, we talked, and for a short while, we wrote.
