Episode description

We are continuing the theme of “amazing Mississippi women” this Women’s History Month with today’s guest. Marion Garrard Barnwell grew up in the Mississippi Delta, where her writing life began at age thirteen with a column in the town newspaper. For twenty-five years, she taught writing and literature classes at Delta State University, and her 2024 book, All the Things We Didn’t Say, includes her grandmother’s 1956 memoir (published for the first time), which Barnwell both reveres and laments, and which challenged her to write her own memoir. An educator, playwright, essayist and more, Marion joins us today to explain how special it is to be a female writer from the Magnolia State.
