Heroines by Kate Zambreno

5.0

one of my top 3 books, absolutely incredible. stunning memoir woven with biographical information about the wives of modernism (particularly Zelda Fitzgerald and Vivienne Elliot) as well as other women writers of the 20th century (Sylvia Plath, Jean Rhys, Anais Nin, Mary McCarthy, and more). particularly interesting as it relates to mental illness diagnoses with women, online culture, the publishing industry, writing one's authentic voice... will return to this again and again (read it for the first, perfect time when I was 17)
