Meet the women who wrote. They wrote against all odds. Some wrote
defiantly; some wrote desperately. Some wrote while trapped within
the confines of status and wealth. Some wrote hand-to-mouth in
abject poverty. Some wrote trapped in a room of their father's
house, and some went in search of a room of their own. They had
lovers and families. They were sometimes lonely. Many wrote
anonymously or under a pseudonym for a world not yet ready for
their genius and talent. We know many of their names-Austen and
Alcott, Bronte and Browning, Wheatley and Woolf-though some may be
less familiar. They are here, waiting to introduce themselves. They
marched through the world one by one or in small sisterhoods,
speaking to each other and to us over distances of place and time.
Pushing back against the boundaries meant to keep us in our place,
they carved enough space for themselves to write. They made space
for us to follow. Here they are gathered together, an army of women
who wrote and an arsenal of words to inspire us. They walk with us
as we forge our own paths forward. These women wrote to change the
world. The perfect keepsake gift for the reader in your life
