A startlingly relevant essay on women and literature, its value to authors and readers alike is not in any way diminished in the near-century since its publication.
It is wonderfully written, with prose in a style one would associate with literary fiction rather than (stereotypical) nonfiction, and incredible wit.
Its insights, advice, style, and (indirect) book recommendations are certainly reason enough for me to recommend this book to any reader; but, if you're still hesitant to pick up a book that is both nonfiction and also a classic, I will point out this book is both quite short and also available for free to check out as an ebook or audiobook in any platform that offers public domain literature, such as standard ebooks, project Gutenberg, and librivox.
