The Modern Library Launching Modern Library Torchbearers Collection in Celebration of Women Authors

NewImage

Exciting news via Publisher’s Weekly. We’re also really enjoying the new cover art!

“The collection started with our desire to use the Modern Library as a platform to call out excellent but largely—and unjustly—forgotten books, especially those that may have been overlooked because of institutional or genre-based bias,” Mika Kasuga, editor for the series and editor and publishing manager at Modern Library and Random House, told PW. “Francis Stevens (whose real name was Gertrude Barrows Bennett) created the subgenre of dark fantasy, which now includes authors like Neil Gaiman, Leigh Bardugo, and Tomi Adeyemi, but I’d never heard of her. Zitkála-Sá was a fascinating woman and a powerful activist—she founded the National Council of American Indians in 1926, but that doesn’t even begin to cover everything she accomplished—who deserves more than a Wikipedia page as her biography.”
