DETAILS
I originally bought a few copies for friends - and knew I needed to purchase more when I made more friends. :) I love this little book for the ladies in my life. The Story of an Hour I think everyone should read.
beautiful..just as pictured, just as expected.
Lovely poetry and prose - I am happy that there is a book that highlights women writers. Bought a few copies for my close friends. Excited to learn new literary names to dive into.
The cover is gorgeous. The book is well made, and I love the illustrations that come with the poem selections. The seller even included some postcards and a sticker. This is my second time purchasing from this shop and it won’t be the last.
Received quickly and item was exactly as described. Also received some extra postcards as a gift, which was a nice surprise. Excellent quality publication.
I bought four books and for some reason the box would not ship to my address. The seller kept trying until I finally received the package! Wonderful customer service, I'd like to buy from this shop again.
It came so fast and quick. It even came with surprise little literary quote postcards. The book itself was so cute and beautifully made with stunning illustrations.
Very nice.
Lovely little book. Thank you

Women Writers
I love these books! I appreciated the added bonus of the prints. I was not expecting the small size, but that is my fault for not checking measurements. It does not take away from the quality and beauty of them. I am looking forward to gifting these!
Small, but very well-made and perfect for the person I chose it for.
The perfect book. A great goft.
Cute little book for my book club gift!
A little small but beautiful illustrations
I bought this as a Christmas gift for my daughter so I can only say that it shipped very quickly and I was impressed with the little bit that I saw of the illustrations and lay out.
Didn't realize the book was so small, but otherwise, very nice
A charming, illustrated book of poems and writing from women writers who had a lasting impact. I recommend this short volume to be reminded of the diverse women writers who shaped generations.
Great book. I would recommend it
Loved it . Happy with quality.
