I’m a writer. I profile fascinating women from history, share links to my recent work and more.

Murasaki Shikibu, the world’s first novelist.

Annie Edson Taylor, the first person to tumble over Niagara Falls in a barrel.

The Wake-Robin Golf Club, once the only club for African-American women golfers in the world.

Storme Delarverie, rumored to have thrown the first punch at the Stonewall Riots.
