Künstlerinroman : The Feminine Artists' Maturity
A German word for a novel following the growth and maturing throughout a feminine artist's whole life, not just a coming of age! Often semi- or fully autobiographical. I discovered this word through a poem by Ocean Vuong and finding the feminization of the word! please feel free to suggest more! and i am use the word feminine here not as a direct antonym to masculinity (boy vs girl), but rather an exploration of stories outside of the cisgender male artists' stories.
