The Beat Generation is my favorite part of American Lit. This book was both encouraging and depressing at the same time. What these women accomplished during the 40s and 50s was truly remarkable. One thing that sticks out is that they're only white women included (Billie Holiday does get a mention, but she's a jazz singer included as a muse). I'll have to look into WOC beat writers.
