What was the first book by a woman you ever read?
#ReadWomen
Wow, the replies are so interesting! As a child, my first books by women were "A Wrinkle in Time," by Madeline L'Engle, "A Raisin in the Sun," by Lorraine Hansberry and "The House on Mango Street," by Sandra Cisneros. My first "adult" book was "The Bell Jar," by Sylvia Plath.
You all are making me curious about Enid Blyton, I'd never heard of her before but she's the most popular reply so far
Ok, I'm outing myself here as a fantasy nerd when I was a kid—does anyone else remember "The Secret of the Unicorn Queen" by Josepha Sherman? Or "The Heavenly Horse from the Outermost West" by Mary Stanton?
Zilpha Keatley Snyder and "The Witches of Worm"...anyone?
