As the nation commemorates the centennial of the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920, Her Story: A Century of Women Writers celebrates some of the country’s most influential authors. Represented here are twenty-four women from diverse backgrounds whose books have become classics and whose words are well known. Many of us grew up with their stories, poems, and essays and have since passed them on to friends and family.
