        Well done to Zhi Hui (Olivia), an alumnus of Clover Learning Centre (Montessori) for her successful publication titled "Superwoman" with Issue 1 of the online journal ‘Untitled: Voices’. Issue 1 of the online journal was launched on June 22, 2020, while we were in the midst of our national Movement Control Order (National Lockdown due to Covid-19).

        It features work as a response to the lockdown written by Olivia and 38 other underrepresented writers from around the world.

        Based in the UK, the launch of the ‘Untitled: Voices’ journal by Untitled Writing aimed to serve as a platform to showcase writing by underrepresented writers from around the world. The collection includes a mixture of poetry, short stories, monologues, flash fiction and more.

Olivia was also featured on the online news platform

upon her publication with the Untitiles. 

We had a conversation with Olivia to find out more about her inspiration for writing “Superwoman”.

Clover's (CLC) Interview with Olivia (OL)

CLC: What inspired you to create this piece?

OL: While we focused our attention on the roles of front-liners played in the pandemic, I happened to come across the thought of motherhood in that period. I started to realise mothers play such a significant and selfless role too. During the MCO (lockdown), where every member of the house was at home 24/7, mothers were the ones who ensured the smooth running of the household. For instance, my mother would still make sure we were well fed with her mouth-watering cuisines every mealtime, despite how busy or tired she was. 

" While we focused our attention on the roles of front-liners played in the pandemic... I started to realise mothers play such a significant and selfless role too."

CLC: Why did you choose the title “Superwoman”?

OL: It was at such a critical time earlier this year, I witnessed so many mothers putting

their family’s needs above themselves. It would only have been right to give them the  

honourable title of “Superwoman”. They will always be the Superwomen of their

household; they will always be worthy of our appreciation. 

CLC: That was extremely heart-warming to hear! Thank you for sharing it with us and

once again, congratulations on your publication! 

OL: Thanks a lot! (smiling)
