EVE BITES BACK An Alternative History of English Literature

Highlighting Julian of Norwich, Margery Kempe, Aemilia Lanyer, Anne Bradstreet, Aphra Behn, Mary Wortley Montagu, Jane Austen, and Mary Elizabeth Braddon, Beer explores the ways these authors challenged stereotypes and created memorable stories and characters as they fought to be heard in a world dominated by men. Beer shares little-known facts about the authors to demonstrate their incredible tenacity. Listeners will be impressed by Beer's confident delivery, wit, and humor, which combine to create an informative and engaging listen. K.S.M. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2023]
