Violence and voice seem to be related. In this thesis I detail personal
experiences with violence, and then put them into the context of research done
about the ways in which violence affects the writing voice, as well as the speaking
voice.
Helene Cixous' writings about the writing voice and women "writing our
bodies" inspired the study of the connection between violence and voice. Cixous'
ideas sparked the question, "What happens to the writing voice if the body has
been abused?" In my research I read about various women whose voices have
been stifled by violence. Their experiences and research intertwine with mine to
explore the answer to this question. / Graduation date: 2002
