A must read for any bibliophile! This will part of my permanent collection.

This was a book I found hard to read non-stop. There was so much interesting information about each of the authors that I had to take more time than usual while reading it.
The bad editing was annoying and distracting.
I enjoyed the quotes at the end of each author section. I especially liked the one from Emily Bronte:

I'll walk where my own nature would be leading:
It vexes me to choose another guide.

I found this book while waiting on line the night "Deathly Hallows" came out - nobody except me was prowling the women studies section, despite the fact that it was right next to where the line formed! This was fun to peruse while I waited, and in the end I bought it as well!

Interesting information about Bibliophiles, Bluestockings, and Prolific Pens. Love those words in the title. Did learn more about Pear S. Buck and several librarians who made a difference. Enjoyed this.
