About the Project
The Female Expat Project is a collection of writing, art, and audio that archives and reflects the lives of female expatriates (define expat) living throughout the world. The site depends on submissions by women who are or have been female expats and feel a connection to the content of the site.
Rather than focusing on the practical challenges of women constructing lives overseas, this website concentrates on the subtle shifts in perception that occur when women choose to move from their country of origin. As a result, the collection of stories speaks to larger poetics of the search for home and the history of these adventures. It references a subculture of often highly creative women and has found artistic material in their original ideas about place.
