One is not born a woman, one becomes one.

This unique collection includes more than twenty great novel excerpts depicting women young and old, wise and weary, flamboyant and cunning such as:

  • Emma Woodhouse in Emma by Jane Austen
  • Jane Eyre in Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
  • Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's by Truman Capote
  • Evelyn Couch in Fried Green Tomatoes by Fannie Flagg
  • Celie in The Color Purple by Alice Walker
