Women have written some of our most extraordinary literary works while living in societies and cultures that tried to silence them. These women dared to put pen to paper to express the multifaceted female experience. In Bookish Broads, Lauren Marino celebrates fierce, trailblazing female writers, reworking the literary canon that has long failed to recognize the immense contributions of women.
Featuring short profiles and colorful portraits of more than 50 brilliant bookish broads, Marino cleverly illuminates the lives of the greats as well as the literary talents history has wrongfully overlooked. Each intimate capsule biography delves into one woman’s works, capturing how she both lived within and defied the expectations of her time. This is a boldly illustrated celebration of literary history’s most revolutionary, talented women writers.
