Stefan Bollmann's text was translated from German by Helen Atkins and edited by Kirsty Seymour-Ure, with the exception of the following parts, which were translated by Russell Stockman: the entries on Margaret Atwood, Elena Ferrante, Amy Tan, and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and portions of the entries on Toni Morrison, Isabel Allende, and Arundhati Roy. 504 Includes bibliographical references. 520 "Writing has not always been considered a suitable career for women. Indeed, it was once common for women authors to adopt a masculine pseudonym in order to be taken seriously. And even today, some women writers still struggle to obtain the same recognition that is given to their male counterparts. Nevertheless, women throughout the ages have overcome these obstacles to create literature of enduring importance. This attractive book brings together paintings, drawings, prints, and photographs of some fifty outstanding women authors, from Mary Wollstonecraft, Jane Austen, and George Sand to Dorothy Parker, Simone de Beauvoir, and Toni Morrison. Each image is accompanied by an engaging commentary on the writer depicted, discussing the highlights of her career and the major themes of her work. Full of insight and inspiration, this is the perfect gift for any woman who writes" --|cProvided by publisher 650 0 Women authors|vBiography. 650 0 Literature|xWomen authors. 700 1 Atkins, Helen,|etranslator. 700 1 Seymour-Ure, Kirsty,|eeditor. 700 1 Stockman, Russell,|eeditor. 700 1 Prose, Francine,|d1947-|ewriter of foreword. 730 0 Frauen, die schreiben, leben gefährlich.|lEnglish.
