Both an educational read on the wives of modernist writers and a long-form feminist essay on what it means to be a woman writer. Very much of its time so can be quite girlboss-y in parts but overall enjoyable and inspiring. I definitely do relate to her struggles with feeling good enough as a writer to justify all it takes to “make it”, so I think this was overall a positive kick in the pants for me!
