25 Phrases of women writers

25 phrases of women writers

If history tells us something (and unfortunately, the present in many countries still) it is that women have been treated unfairly and with many fewer rights than men over time. For this simple fact, they deserve to be remembered, all of them, but in this case, and especially in this blog that concerns us, we will do it with the women writers.

Some rebelled against the injustice imposed, others camouflaged themselves under male pseudonyms to be able to write and have works of equal or higher quality than those of many male colleagues published, others were touched by the wand of luck and could live off it ... Whatever the story of these women writers, here we bring you 25 of their phrases. Much can be learned from the dating and experiences of others. Will you feel identified with any of them? You tell us later ...
