The Book of Awesome Women Writers: Medieval Mystics, Pioneering Poets, Fierce Feminists and First Ladies of Literature

The Book of Awesome Women Writers is exactly that. There are a lot of women authors out there, past and present. Some, like Maya Angelou and J.K. Rowling, are names everyone’s heard of. This book covers them and many more that aren’t such household names. For instance, the first poet to win the Pulitzer Prize was Sara Teasdale in 1917. Readers can also learn of contemporary poet Lang Leav, who was born in a Thai refugee camp.

This book doesn’t get bogged down in great detail, but it allows readers to dip and out as they have time and interest to learn a little about the life of a woman writer. Some of the stories are tragic, some uplifting, but all of them are interesting and help bring to life some of the great women authors from across the globe.

This is a great book for anyone who’s interested in learning more about women authors and finding more books to read.
