More than Just a Silver Lining

Through out several of the readings and things we have done in class one thing I have constantly criticized is that many of the authors are often pessimistic and don't recognize how far women have come. Reading back on many of my blogs I thought I was often being guilty of the same thing and decided to look for woman authors who were succeeding and I knew there had to be many out there so look for those in the following blogs!
The first one I found, Margaret Atwood, mention previously in another blog, is probably most famous for her novel "A Handmaid's Tale". Atwood has one several awards and just recently most recently was awarded Prince of Asturias prize for literature. It's great to know that there are woman out there earning recognition worldwide.
