3 February 2014
Publishers, literary journals, booksellers, and readers across North America and the U.K. are declaring 2014 the year of reading women. The movement took hold on Twitter as #readwomen2014, a hashtag launched earlier this month by illustrator and writer Joanna Walsh whose women's literature bookmarks have found popularity online.
Walsh says she was inspired by authors and literary journalists Jonathan Gibbs and Matthew Jakubowski, who have dedicated their recent reading lists to literature by women.
