Reading Women

Reading Women releases new episodes every Wednesday. Each month features two episodes on the same theme—one highlighting a range of titles and one discussing two titles more in depth—and two author interviews with women writers whose work we’ve loved.

Ep. 11 | Women in Translation

This week starts our focus of women in translation. After months of prep, (Autumn will explain why on this one 😉 ), we are finally ready to talk about #FerranteFever and giant tomes of female glory. So sit back and get ready for The Man Booker Prize, this month’s selections new books, and more!
