Who we are
Pages Against the Patriarchy was founded by Portland, Oregon authors whose work centers around fantasy novels featuring women who defy expectations and reject forced stereotypes. Their commitment to women-led storytelling inspired the creation of this platform—a space where authors can share their voices, passions, and pages with anyone who has access to the internet.
Our mission is simple: community over cost.
In a world where access is too often reserved for those who can afford it, Pages Against the Patriarchy exists to break that barrier. This is a completely free event, built on the belief that powerful stories should be heard—not hidden behind a paywall.
Whether you’re here to read, listen, or raise your voice, you are welcome.

Founder: Kathleen Rae is a 27-year-old Portland author who thrives on long walks through her maladaptive daydreams, where the laws of reality are mere suggestions. She spends her time devouring wine-stained pages, weaving worlds from the embers of rebellion, and meticulously plotting against fascist regimes—both real and fictional. When she’s not lost in the labyrinth of her own imagination, she dabbles in pottery, comic books, and video games, all while pretending she isn’t procrastinating on her next project.
