This curated selection showcases seminal works by some of the most influential female voices in 20th-century literature. From Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eye—a landmark debut exploring Black girlhood and identity—to Rachel Carson’s pioneering environmental classic Silent Spring, these works have reshaped literary and cultural discourse.
Other highlights include a fine copy of The Bloody Chamber by Angela Carter, with her signature reimagining of fairy tales through a feminist lens, and Play It As It Lays by Joan Didion, a disquieting portrait of American disillusionment. Anaïs Nin’s rare This Hunger… and Elizabeth Bowen’s Joining Charles and Other Stories reflect the deeply interior narratives of modernist women’s writing. Also featured are The Sandcastle by Iris Murdoch, Ruth Prawer Jhabvala’s To Whom She Will, Anna Kavan’s haunting Asylum Piece, and A.S. Byatt’s The Game.
Together, these titles represent a rich and nuanced spectrum of women’s literary achievement—each a vital contribution to the canon of modern thought and storytelling.
