In honor of Women's History Month, Strand picks out two of their heroes’ masterpieces. The best way to support the grand dame of literary NY at the moment is to buy a gift card from their website.
With its Broadway headquarters, two kiosks and online store temporarily closed to the public, the best way to support The Strand is to buy an e-gift card: https://www.strandbooks.com/gift-card/.
Once you got your paws on one of those, The Strand staff recommends a couple of their literary idols in celebration of #WomensHistoryMonth:
Rebecca Solnit, Recollections of My Nonexistence
The Strand had the honor of working with Rebecca Solnit on a bookshelf representing over 40 of the books that she found most influential. Her memoir is a reminder of her impact and prowess as a writer.
Carolyn Keene, Nancy Drew The Case of Capital Intrigue
They also picked one of the Nancy Drew mystery stories as an ode to the many women who wrote under the Carolyn Keene pseudonym for the long-running series.
