Description
Sharp: The Women Who Made an Art of Having an Opinion
This vibrant and rich portrait explores the lives of ten remarkable women who cut through the cultural and intellectual history of America in the twentieth century. United by their 'sharpness', these writers claimed power through their writing, challenging sexist attitudes and engaging in fierce debates with each other and their male counterparts.
Through their stories, Sharp sheds light on the intellectual beau monde of twentieth-century New York, where literary salons gave way to heated discussions in the pages of influential journals. A fascinating glimpse into a bygone era, this book is a testament to the enduring power of women's voices and the importance of their contributions to American literature.
