    A Graphic History of the Lives, Inspiration, and Influence Behind the Pens of Classic Women Writers

    Why did Jane Austen struggle to write for five years before her first novel was ever published? How did Edith Maude Eaton's writing change the narrative around Chinese immigrant workers in North America? Why did the Brontë sisters choose to write under male pennames, and Anne Lister write her personal diaries in code? Learn about women writers from the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries, from familiar favorites to those who have undeservedly fallen into obscurity, and their often untold histories. Why She Wrote highlights these incredible women's hardships, their influence, and the spark that called them to write.

    Hardcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 256 pages, full color.

    Cover price $19.95.
