#womenauthors — Public Fediverse posts

There's something so satisfying about writing about a GenX experience that a Millennial can deeply appreciate. Check out Amber Herbert's review of my new book, Trust Fall: https://bookwyrm.social/user/amberherbert/review/12422156/s/an-all-too-familiar-feminist-coming-of-age-tale#anchor-12422156 For preorders: https://gnashingteethpublishing.com/trust-fall-a-not-very-magical-fairy-tale-about-the-f-word/ #feminism #womenauthors

If you love stories about spies, history, and strong women breaking barriers, this book is a must-read.

Some families leave you money. Others leave you scars. Debby Show's Paper Roses is a haunting, brilliant exploration of generational trauma and the defiant choice to break cycles. Essential reading.

“He was a bad painter and a vicious gossip, with a vocabulary composed almost entirely of obscenities, guttural verbs, and the word 'postmodernist'."

Donna Tartt, 1992

Catherine Parr, sixth queen of Henry VIII, was named after Catherine of Aragon, his first queen...who was her godmother.

Catherine the Very Much Younger was also the first woman to have her work appear in print, in English, under her own name.

This author was blacklisted in Hollywood for 10 years as a suspected Communist. She had indeed been a "casual member" of the Party (in her possibly self-serving words) about a decade before she refused to answer questions from McCarthy's committee.

If anyone is looking for a #spiritual #BookClub there’s a group forming over on #reditt to read #JulianofNorwich [Warning: I’m planning on reading so you’ll be seeing some of my thoughts & reflections posted here]

Julian of Norwich was an English anchoress in the Middle Ages. Her Revelations of Divine Love, based on 16 divine visions she received in 1373, is thought to be the first book written by a #woman in English that has survived (and is still actively being read and studied today). She is venerated as a saint in the #EpiscopalChurch & the larger #AnglicanCommunion (although she is not recognized as a saint by the #RomanCatholicChurch )

The translation I plan to read is: Love’s Trinity: A Companion to Julian of Norwich translated by John-Julian with commentary by Frederick S. Roden https://bookshop.org/a/13969/9780814653081

This quote reminds me of George Orwell's essay 'Shooting an Elephant', which is 20 years older. I wonder if Marguerite Yourcenar had ever read it. Then again, Orwell may have got the mask metaphor from someone else even earlier.

Beach Reading To Defeat The Patriarchy

In a pointed response to the sexist assumption that "books by women, about women, are more likely to be considered 'light reading,'" joannemerriam has assembled a great list of "small press books by women, about women, including Become Ungovernable, Feminism against Cisness, On Strike Against God, and 25 more."
