How We Spend Our Days: Behind the Series
Thank you to the subscribers who are supporting this series!
Ellen Gilchrist, the writer who made me want to be a writer, died January 30th at the age of 88. She was a National Book Award winner and the author of over 25 books, every single one on my shelf. Her novels and stories are full of strong, independent women who say whatever the hell they want to.
In 2010, I wrote to invite her to write an essay for the How We Spend Our Days series, and you can see her response below.
