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. 69 | The Partition of India

For July, Kendra and Sumaiyya talk about about this month’s theme, the partition of India. You can find the complete show notes, including a PDF of the transcript, over on our website.
