I'm doing a #WomensCenturyChallenge: 10 consecutive decades, 10 female authors. My 1900-09 choice is comprised of two short stories and a novella. The first story was ok, but the novella starts off badly. I mean, I know it's the beginning of the 20th C, but WTF Gertrude Stein?!? "Rose" also lost her newborn because she forgot to look after it, and they are sorry but don't think about it for long, as babies "come so often in the negro world"!?
missevievelyn Woah I've never heard of that challenge, it sounds awesome! I might have to try it! 8y
Leniverse @missevievelyn It's great fun! I did the 1800s last year, and going for 1900s this year (but any 10 consecutive decades can be used). For extra challenge use all authors you haven't read before. If you're on Goodreads you'll find the challenge in wonderful group called "Catching up on Classics (and lots more!)". Do join us! 8y
