Buy a copy for  your daughters, sisters, mums, aunts and nieces - just make sure you  buy a copy for your sons, brothers, dads, uncles and nephews, too.' - Independent      The women who shaped and were erased from our history.    Forgotten Women is a new series of books that uncover the lost   herstories of influential women who have refused over hundreds of years  to accept the hand they've been dealt and, as a result, have formed, shaped and changed the course of our futures.     The Writers celebrates 48* unsung genius female writers from throughout history and across the world, including the Girl Stunt Reporters, who went undercover to write exposes on the ills of 1890s America; Aemilia Lanyer, the contemporary of Shakespeare whose polemical re-writing of The Bible's Passion Story is regarded as one of the earliest feminist works of literature; and Sarojini Naidu, the freedom fighter and 'Nightingale of India' whose poetry echoed her political desire for Indian independence.    Including writers from across a wide spectrum of disciplines including poets, journalists, novelists, essayists and diarists, this is an alternative gynocentric history of literature that will surprise, empower, and leave you with a reading list a mile long.    *The number of Nobel-prize-winning women.","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42369827242138,"sku":"9781788400183","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0558\/1625\/7690\/products\/9781788400183.jpg?v=1660878876","url":"https:\/\/castlebooks.com.au\/products\/9781788400183-forgotten-women-the-writers","provider":"Castlebooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
