Hailing from the humid, windy, sometimes scorching suburbs of Malaysia, Doris Pushpam chose to pursue the ever-promising path of creative writing. When she isn't making questionable life decisions she can be found embroidering, baking, painting, losing chess games to her father, reading, journaling, playing video games, or picking up some new hobby. Sometimes she creates worlds where women are able to tell their story and other times she writes in rhyme and lives in the clouds. She enjoys creating chaos and happily-ever-afters and nothing makes her happier than that final full stop and a perfect rhyme. Doris Pushpam is currently undertaking a PhD in Creative Writing (in line with her tendency for making questionable life decisions) through which she hopes to continue advocating for women in oppressed cultures. In her previous research she explored the notion of becoming a woman in relation to the oral tradition, investigated the many nuances of change that affect women from oppressed cultures, and also discussed the need for women to form a space where all aspects of oneself that one chooses to be, can exist. She is inspired by the works of Simone de Beauvoir, Jane Austen, Gloria Anzaldúa, Maya Angelou, and Sylvia Plath. See less
