Today’s post is one humble blogger’s attempt to rectify that situation by recommending 10 women writers every discerning reader should know (by which I mean “read,” not “know of”).Īs I read The UnAmericans, it soon became clear why Antopol was selected by the National Book Foundation as a “5 Under 35 Author” last November.
