Women’s bird writing from the late 19th century to World War II
Edited by Deborah Strom, this anthology gathers nature writing about birds by American women whose work has often received less attention than that of better-known contemporaries. Spanning the late 1800s through World War II, the selection places familiar names such as Sarah Orne Jewett and Celia Thaxter alongside less widely known writers. The book’s interest lies in both bird observation and the literary record it restores: a cross-section of women contributing wit, style, and attention to the natural world across several decades.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Readers interested in bird-focused nature writing
- Those exploring women’s literary and environmental history
- Anthology readers seeking American writing from the late 19th and early 20th centuries
