Virginia Woolf helped usher in a major new literary movement with her stream-of-consciousness fiction, which focuses on the experience of awareness and moves fluidly among the inner lives of its characters. Her personal life & incisive feminist essays were no less radical. After a lifelong struggle with mental illness, Woolf put stones in her pockets and stepped into the river near her home. #womeninliterature #literarywitches #womenshistorymonth
“Am I walking toward something I should be running away from?“
Shirley Jackson (1916-1965)
Her fiction marries the ordinary with the supernatural and often speaks to inhumanities people endure. Her most famous story on the subject, “The Lottery“, was written after rural Vermont residents painted a swastika on her house (her husband was Jewish).

pickThe book is fascinating. The author clearly researched the character for years. He has a great writing style, the book is full of facts but it reads like he is conversing with you and not talking at you. I would have liked to see the author look more at modern feminism and the comic/geek community so that he could see that there was a big push to have more Wonder Woman in comics, tv, and movies.
This! I read the Wonder Woman series that touched on her killing Maxwell Lord and I thought this exactly! For people who had been her teammates in the Justice League for so many years, Batman and Superman have the audacity to get upset at her for killing a man who was going to use Superman to kill millions. They know she only kills when necessary, they wouldn't make the decision so she did and then they get in a tantrum because of it.
