The Women Who Make Our Novels

¿This book, the rather unpremeditated production of several months¿ work, is by a man who is not a novelist and who is therefore entirely unfitted to write about women who are novelists.¿ The author is a literary reporter and from that perspective he offers a short biographical sketch ¿of all the living American women novelists whose writing, by the customary standards, is artistically fine . . . [or] whose writing has attained a wide popularity.¿ This book was published in 1918. (Summary taken from the Introduction by MaryAnn)
