Women and Literature
Because the widespread education of women was not common until
the nineteenth century, the arena of British and American literature was
once largely male dominated: the role of women was most often to inspire
rather than to create. Since then, however, the literary contributions
of women have become increasingly important. More and more women have become
storytellers, poets and prophets, the authors of dreams and ideas--the
voices to whom we listen.
We have compiled a selection of women authors for you.
If they are not already old friends, we hope that they may become new
ones. We also hope you will add your favorites to our list!
