It was a beautiful, deeply philosophical book about reading as a form of existential consolation. A reflection, at times glorious and painful, on what it means to be a woman and to try to be free. Offered to readers of all ages, it concerns the engagement, tenderness, and power of reading.
In this complex, intimate, and astonishingly original collective biography, Joanna Biggs examines eight revolutionary women writers who sought freedom and intellectual fulfillment during their lifetimes and asks: why is it so important for women to read each other? Illuminating the motivations, desires, and disappointments of Mary Wollstonecraft, George Eliot, Zora Neale Hurston, Virginia Woolf, Simone de Beauvoir, Sylvia Plath, Toni Morrison, and Elena Ferrante, Biggs sheds light on a path beyond the traditional goals and expectations of femininity towards a life lived generously and joyfully for oneself.
