Inspired by women's and gender studies courses, and my passion for constantly learning about feminist issues, this blog is called 'Paper Mums.' Two short stories that really piqued my interest in women's studies are "The Chrysanthemums" by John Steinbeck and "The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, thus the name 'Paper Mums.'

Help a mom out
Life has been pretty stressful and exhausting lately. I've had no time to write, but I tried out blogging for a few minutes. I'd love any feedback or suggestions. Thanks! (And yes, I am as tired as I look.)

About Me
- Devastasha
- My name is Devastasha Beaver; I am a 2012 graduate of La Roche College, and I hold a Bachelor's degree in Professional Writing with a minor in Women's Studies. I am the Community Life editor for a daily newspaper. While I love my job as editor, my passion is feature writing. My dream career would be magazine feature writing while teaching women's studies and English composition part-time. I love to read, and while I prefer creative non-fiction, novels are making their way back into my life. In my free time I study feminist issues, in all mediums (watching youtube videos counts!).
