4 posts | 1 read | 6 to read
A boldly illustrated celebration of literary historys most revolutionary, talented women writers Women 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 womans works and is accompanied by vibrant illustrations depicting each literary legend in her element and time.

Sometimes I cannot concentrate at all, so I switch between books. I have literally read something from each of these books in the last couple of hours. I‘m currently on Bookish Broads.

I checked this out in a whim from Hoopla. I can‘t say it‘s doing anything particularly unique, although it was informative, and I did enjoy the pop art style portraits of the writers featured. It did put a few new to me writers on my radar and I added a few new books to my TBR, but overall I was kind of underwhelmed by its approach to summarizing the lives and influence of the writers. Overall, just okay.
