Description

America has an array of women writers who have made history--and many of them lived, died and were buried in Virginia.(/b>

Gothic novelists, writers of Westerns and African American poets, these writers include a Pulitzer Prize winner, the first woman writer to be named Poet Laureate of the Commonwealth of Virginia and the first woman to top the best-seller lists in the twentieth century. Mary Roberts Rinehart was a bestselling mystery author often called "the American Agatha Christie." Anne Spencer was an important figure in the Harlem Renaissance. V. C. Andrews was so popular that when she died a court ruled that her name was taxable, and the poetry of Susan Archer Talley Weiss received praise from Edgar Allan Poe.

Professor and cemetery history enthusiast Sharon Pajka has written a guide to their accomplishments in life and to their final resting places.

Reviews

"On any given day, writer and VCU alumna Sharon Pajka is at a cemetery....Pajka, an English professor at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., translated this passion into her book "Women Writers Buried in Virginia.'?The novel highlights 44 female writers buried in Virginia cemeteries. The subjects vary, from gothic novelists to Western fiction writers to African American poets, according to the book's online description."Clare Wislar, Commonwealth Times

"It is always interesting to find history that wasn't spotlighted,'? Pajka says of the women writers, who often did not receive as much attention as their male counterparts. "This is regional history but also Virginia history and American history.'?Gary Robertson, Richmond Mag
