Good overview of some key women writers, particularly focusing on the United States. The artwork is great.

Le tenía echado el ojo hace un montón y si bien no es un libro que te va a cambiar la vida tiene una edición re linda con ilustraciones onda witchy, interpretaciones poéticas sobre las autoras, mini biografías y lecturas recomendadas ♥
Ahora re quiero leer más de las que ya conocía y explorar a las otras que todavía no he leído!

Una hechizante lectura sobre aquéllas brujas literarias que nunca dejan de inspirarnos. Cada onírica biografía escrita por Taisia Kitaiskaia está acompañada de las mágicas ilustraciones de Katy Horan.

¿Quién es más digno de este nombre que las escritoras, que con sus palabras conjuran mundos? Sin duda tienen mucho en común con las brujas: a las mujeres que crean algo más que niños aún se las considera peligrosas. Se las margina, se las trivializa e incluso se las ignora por completo. Se las suele excluir del canon artístico, pero aun así se las estigmatiza.

This is truly a magical book!
I really enjoyed getting to know all these artists and female writers. It really inspired me to read even more and also to explore something new.
Taisia Kitaiskaia is a true talent when it comes to detailled and imaginative descriptions and the artwork by Katy Horan just put the whole book together.
Everything about this book is amazing and I basically ran through it in two days. I do really recomment it to explore new authors and get to know the ones you already know in even more detail!

This was a good in-between book for me (books to read when I'm in between books and am not sure what to read next). I got to be introduced into more authors to check out; I liked that recommended reading for each author is included in their page. The art style isn't what I'm typically drawn to, but it suit the tone of the book. The summaries of the authors were for the most part good, though there were a few that I wish went into more detail. The three vignettes per author were sometimes enjoyable, sometimes not; I look forward to actually reading their material and going back to read these vignettes in order to actually understand the references (which I think will enhance the reading experience of them).

I loved this selection of women writers - loved the artwork and the writing about them. Some of my favourites and several books added to my to read list.
