I really enjoyed reading this book. I was familiar with Emily Dickinson's Poems but not familiar with the story behind getting them published. This book is a biography about Mabel and her Daughter Millicent and how they came to publish the poems after Emily's death. Fortunately the women left behind massive archives. The author does a very good job of going through the letters and diaries to tell this fascinating little known story. All these women were remarkable and refused to conform to social norms. The story held my interest and was easy to read. Anyone with an interest in poetry, publishing and women's studies will enjoy this book.
