Description

In 25 witty and vibrant biographical essays, Firebrands introduces us to a selection of unjustly underrated women writers about whom every discerning reader should know. From Murasaki, famed in the tenth century for The Tale of Genji, to Christine de Pizan, medieval author of The Book of the City of Ladies; from Olympe de Gouges, a playwright, activist and pamphleteer who was executed in the Reign of Terror, to Harriet Jacobs, who wrote against the enslavement into which she was born; from Pauli Murray to Forugh Farrokhzad, Eileen Chang to Florence Nwapa – Joanna Scutts hails the fascinating, varied lives and literary achievements of these women who spoke out, wrote and published against the odds.
