About My Collection

"In 2021, to my delight, women's voices dominated my favorite histories, memoirs, and historical fiction. Historians Tiya Miles, Annette Gordon-Reed, and Nikole Hannah-Jones amplified the stories of people whose lived experiences broadened America's origin story. Fiction writers like Natalie Haynes and Lauren Groff focused on a female POV, while activists (Luvvie Ajayi, Sarah Schulman, and Elsa Sjunneson) inspired with the heroism of women who spoke out against erasure. Through reading and listening, we can all be (to quote Maria Tatar) 'the heroine with 1001 faces.'" —Editor Christina H.
