In twenty-five witty and vibrant biographical essays, 'Firebrands' introduces us to the brilliant and complex women writers that every discerning reader should know about. From Murasaki Shikibu, the Japanese author of one of the world's earliest novels, and Christine de Pizan, a poet in the royal court of medieval France, to Harriet Jacobs, who drew the world's attention to the horrors of slavery through her own experience, 'Firebrands' explores the lives and works of twenty-five extraordinary women writers.
