Wrapping Up the Ground-Breaking Novelists (ep 6.12)  
Podcast: Her Half of History
Published On: Thu Apr 07 2022
Description: Since I began this series with a discussion of how we got to the point where women could write novels at all, I thought it would be fitting to wind it down with a discussion of how far we've come since Murasaki Shikibu and the world's first (great) novel. I'll also give you an explanation of how I chose the ones I chose and a long list of the women I didn't cover, in case you're in need of your next great read. And really, who isn't?
