A boldly illustrated celebration of literary history's most revolutionary talented women
writersWomen 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 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 portrait delves into one woman's works and is accompanied
by vibrant illustrations depicting each literary legend in her element and time.
