Founded by @badaude in '14, #ReadWomen is a groundbreaking social media campaign now fueled by @secondshelfbks and funded by totes and tees and book sales.
The #WattsBookClub greatly admired Olive Schreiner. In 1891, they read her Dreams. Mary wrote that they both saw why they were said to resemble G F Watts’s pictures. ‘I never read a line of hers without its staying with me for long’ @Read_Women@UCTLibrary_SC@WattsGallery
In granting a posthumous citation to Ida B. Wells, the Pulitzer Prizes honors one of America’s earliest and most intrepid investigative reporters.

Am pleased so say that @sineadgleeson is coming on @BBCFrontRow to discuss the work and legacy of the hugely influential and loved Irish poet Eavan Boland, who died yesterday. https://t.co/Ul46Yl83OP
Here's a closing message from @Read_Women - we'll shut down the account later today. It's been so good to hear from, and to talk with you. Keep seeking out, reading and recommending women writers!
@elizabethmoya I feel like there are so many experimental, interesting, honest books being written at the mo, with loads of indy publishers taking excellent risks. My To Read list is overflowing and I love it!
So it's the women's prize tonight! All the writers are so brilliant and it's wonderful to see such a diverse list for a major book prize. Good luck to all the shortlist! Who do you want to win?
Yday I received a truly special parcel 💌: A beautiful surprise 1st edition from @secondshelfbks 😍
