Joanna Biggs A LIFE OF ONE'S OWN

Nine Women Writers Begin Again

Biggs has truly used reading as a way to heal. In the ideal bibliotherapeutic scenario, she has read, processed and re-envisioned herself in light of her reading experience.

Some quotes. (Reading digitally allows for snapshots of pages  ut page numbers are more or less irrelevant given the size of typeface as well as the device can change pagination.)


Revisiting a book this way is a shortcut, some might sight a cheat, but I see it as another lifehack in this brave new digital frontier. Yea, we may eventually be faced with fallout, but in the meantime, let's enjoy all the ways it enhances our experience.

Authors explored:
Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin
George Elliot
Zora Neale Hurston
Virginia Woolf
Simone de Beauvoir
Sylvia Plath
Toni Morrison
Elena Ferrante
