The Vintage Book of American Women Writers

Paperback

Price: $22.00

Overview

For centuries women have been marginalized and overlooked in American literary history. That injustice is corrected in this entertaining and provocative collection of 350 years of poetry and fiction by American women.

From Puritan poet Anne Bradstreet to Margaret Fuller to Harriet Beecher Stowe, readers will encounter scores of lesser-known and forgotten writers who fully deserve to be rediscovered and enjoyed by new generations. Our famous women writers, including contemporary stars like Annie Proux and Jhumpa Lahiri, are showcased in their full literary context, offering an epic overview of the canon in one monumental, dazzling volume.

This landmark anthology features the best work of our best American women, and was inspired and informed by the author’s groundbreaking history celebrating women writers, A Jury of Her Peers.

Remarkable . . . . A Jury of Her Peers does an enormous service, houses a drop-dead reading list, and gives the reader a fluid framework- Los Angels Times

Exhilarating, provocative, revelatory, magisterial... The celebrated get their due...and so do the forgotten.- Slate
