Fictionalising Murder: Women writing about gendered violence

Jane Caro, Mandy Beaumont and Jacqueline Bublitz

When there is so much real-life brutality against women, why add more in novels? Journalist Sarah Macdonald joins authors Jane Caro, Jacqueline Bublitz and Mandy Beaumont to examine their fictional portrayals of gendered violence, the choices they make when deciding what to show and what to hide, and the ways they avoid traumatising readers.
