Marta Correia is currently attending a Ph.D course in Feminist Studies at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at the University of Porto. She holds an M.A. degree in Women’s Studies. Her main interests in research include Virginia Woolf and her facet as a feminist, women’s activist groups, female writers who focus on the issues of oppression and war, and also food in times of armed conflict through the eyes of women writers. At the moment, she is researching the work of Slavenka Drakulić, a Croatian author who has dedicated some of her writings to the conflict in the former Yugoslavia.
