For my creative piece, I decided to build a sentence using 10 random words that I found in each text. The theme of my anthology is based on women’s restrictive role in society, so I decided to restrict my writing by creating a sentence based only on the ten words that I chose from each text.

• Nightwood (page 49):

Powerful, calm, stubborn Robin; she strangely conceived her child alone.

• Bewitched (page 642):

Manago, spectral monster, convinced Toyo-o to pledge eternal love.

• Candide (page 89):

Cunegonde: her part was to marry, have children, wash dishes.

• Sonnet “445”:

They could easily shut wise girl in prose for treason.

• The Laugh of the Medusa (page 876):

And time again, women write, invent, inscribe, beautiful unacknowledged production.
