MORE ROGUE THAN VOGUE
MORE ROGUE THAN VOGUE
To empower and embolden, to spotlight the contrarian, and the concealed, and to provide a platform, for both the uncomfortable and uncomforted. For history is cyclical, and more rogue than vogue is thoroughly of the opinion that no story will be irrelevant tomorrow, whether it happened today or a thousand years ago. We aim to televise the tales that were once whispered, and to advocate for the once unruly. For after all, well behaved women seldom make history.

Hello, I’m Ava! I have been lucky enough to follow my passion for history and the ancient world, which has led to my study of Ancient History at the University of Bristol. In the past I have spent extensive time researching Hypatia of Alexandria which ignited my interest in women in history specifically in classics, which reconciled with my lifelong obsession of the antithetical female heroine (Jo March I'm looking at you). I have always been fascinated by the reliance of history on literature and vice versa, and following the role of women and other underrepresented individuals past and present. I am a passionate advocate for both truth and the empowerment of those who have to fight against the current of society. Most importantly, I believe that every story deserves to be told, especially if belongs to those who cannot speak for themselves. More Rogue than Vogue is a project that means the world to me, and I’m very excited to share it with you all.
Hello, I’m Violet, an undergraduate student of English Literature at the University of Bristol. Being able to contextualise the past and understand how lesser-known figures have pioneered the path for modern liberation, discussions, and movements through words is something paramount to my writing. My particular interests lie in modernist female driven narratives, the expression of otherness in Victorian media, and examining the art, stories, and voices of those who have shocked traditions, and sparked cultural movements. One of my favourite things to do is visits National Trust properties (often echoing the dark settings of the great Gothic and absurd tales that have defied conventions throughout history!) I also love finding old paths to crumbling ruins and churches, discovering centuries old footpaths and finding out more about the weird and wonderful folklore of our island.
