AlbakiReads Editorial

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

Book overview

American women have long been writing with wit and style about birds, but most of these writers (with exceptions such as Sarah Orne Jewett and Celia Thaxter) have been little known. Deborah Strom now offers a sampling of the fine birding literature produced by women from the late 1800s through World War II, introducing the writers "intriguingly, succinctly limning lives of often great fascination" (Booklist)
