“A classic is a book that has never finished saying why it has to say.” - Italo Calvino (Introduction by Henry Louis Gates, Jr.)
pickWhen we think of classic 19th-century #womenwriters, we think of Austen, the Brontes, or Edith Wharton; we think of white women. But African American women wrote during this time, too. From more famous writers like Sojourner Truth to the lesser-known writers like Ella Sheppard, these women wrote speeches, poetry, novels, memoirs, and so much more.
Feeling pretty pleased with my TBR shelf...(well, pile)
Just arrived. I love reads like this for dipping into, and I expect I'll spend the rest of this year reading it. (I'm pokey w nonfiction!)
