When I was a young girl, I remember these moments, having my 4th grade textbook and seeing just the shaded parts and wondering, you know, “Where were the women in these textbooks? Where are the stories about people who were like me? Where are the girls?”
As I began to write stories, I always found myself drawn to history, and I found myself drawn to the stories that I hadn’t found when I was a young reader. And those are the stories that I’ve come to write about.
