Author: Pamela Petro

Pamela Petro is an author, artist, and educator. Her new book, forthcoming from Little Toller in May 2021, The Long Field - A Memoir, Wales, and the Presence of Absence, pivots on the Welsh word “hiraeth,” which has no cognate in English and refers to something like a stinging, implacable presence of absence. In other words, it refers to AElfgyva.

The AElfgyva Syndrome and Erasure of Women’s Stories

Pamela Petro

We can never gather all the facts of any story that enters the public consciousness. What we can do is resist reducing our assumptions to the oldest nouns at hand. The ones that have been around for a thousand years or more—the ones that imprison women in two dimensions of male design.
