Fisher, as well as excerpts of two of her stories: "Mrs. Teeter's Tomato Jar" (originally Westways February, 1980) and "The First Cafe" (originally Harper's Bazaar July, 1947). This coffee table sized book provides a brief biography of 35 women writers, an excerpt from their work, and a soft color-pencil portrait. Organized in chronological order, the profiled authors range from the expected--Jane Austen, Emily Bronte, Gertrude Stein, Virginia Woolf, Anais Nin, Toni Morrison--to the less well-known: Elizabeth Gaskell, Edith Sitwell, Stevie Smith, M.F.K. Fisher, and Edna O'Brien. There isn't much to say about this book: avid readers will be familiar with most of these authors, and the excerpts are too brief to provide more than a sense of the writing style. However, this book struck me as a lovely gift to younger readers, a catalog of 'greats', so to speak. Already, a second edition of this book has been released (with an amended subtitle numbering the authors at over forty) adding the list: Zora Neale Hurston, George Sand, Pearl S. Buck, Adrienne Rich, and Joyce Carol Oats, among others. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Like the original Women of Words , this revised and expanded edition celebrates classics of literature by women from the last two centuries. Full-color portraits accompany poetic biographical introductions to each writer, followed by carefully chosen excerpts from each woman’s works. New to the pages of this elegant treasury are Nobel and Pulitzer prize winner Pearl S. Buck; contemporary Canadian author Margaret Atwood; Harlem Renaissance figure Zora Neale Hurston; prolific fiction writer and poet Joyce Carol Oates; poet and essayist Adrienne Rich; poet and diarist Sylvia Plath; 19th-century French writer and social activist George Sand; Victorian poet Christina Rossetti; Southern writer Carson McCullers; and 19th-century novelist Charlotte Brontë.
