I'm taking an english class this semester on women writers, i haven't taken an english class since first year but i am really enjoying some literary classics!
Such as Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper" a story about how a woman descends into insanity
Mary Wollstonecraft "A Vindication of the rights of women"
Elizabeth Barrett Browning ...too many of her to list
Charlotte Bronte "Jane Eyre"
Christina Rossetti "Goblin Market"
Kate Chopin "The Awakening"
Edith Wharton "The Angel at the Grave"
and many others...historically writing was seen as a men's activity, and conflicted with the role of women in the domestic sphere. Writing was seen as an act of independence. What are your favorite women writers?
