Description

This set helps to disseminate information about hundreds of women writers who have been routinely overlooked. The women profiled in this series have literally changed the world, from Margaret Sanger's quest for reproductive freedom to Jane Adams and Hull House, from Sylvia Earle and Rachel Moore, Sylvia Plath, Sara Teasdale, Lorrie Moore, and many others. The women have everyting and nothing in common; the prerequisites for inclusion had only to do with a body of work, the written word in all its forms, and the unfortuante limits of time and space.
