Arabella Bartle

Hello! My name is Arabella Bartle. I grew up in Massachusetts, in the USA. I've worked in quite a few places, each one varying in how relevant it was to my degree and my goals but each enriching in their own right. I study modern history at St. Andrews and I'm in my first year. I hope one day to attend law school in America and study human rights and advocate for people, especially women. In particular, I want to be an immigration lawyer and help women who struggle in confusing immigration systems that become all the more impossible when one doesn't speak the language. I'm a huge reader of feminist literature and I'm very interested in women's issues.

I love to read! My favorite books would probably be "My Dark Vanessa" by Kate Elizabeth Russell, "Hunger," and "Not That Bad: dispatches from rape culture," by Roxane Gay, "Wretched of the Earth" by Franz Fanon, as well as "Prayers for the stolen" by Jennifer Clement. I love all these books because they explore the intersectional suffering of women and people of color, as well as providing deeply unique and moving perspectives and sharp social criticism. I also love theory, with Franz Fanon being my absolute postcolonial favorite as well as Angela Davis.
