Hungarian Literature in English
A collection of Hungarian books that have been published in English. I'm prioritizing the ones I think are especially good 😄 But open to suggestions. Also adding our Nobel winners, both of them.
VIW: Very Important Women
(Auto)Biographies, memoirs, and stories of influential women, both well and lesser known
Women's Memoirs and (Auto)biographies
I have been collecting (and reading) a long list of memoirs, autobiographies and biographies about women who had fascinating lives. I thought I might as well make it a list! A lot of them I have read and enjoyed, some are from my TBR. I am especially fascinated by 18th-19th century women's stories, so there will be a lot of those. And women from diverse backgrounds. Open to suggestions!
Women Laureates of STEM
Of the Nobel Prizes in Chemistry and Medicine or Physiology, women make up about 5% of the recipients. These are some of their stories from needing your husband to stand up for you (Marie Curie) to hiding during the Holocaust (Rita Levi-Montalcini) to winning it with another woman (Elizabeth Blackburn and Carol Greider), all of these women should be an inspiration to everyone, whether or not we're in STEM DISCLAIMER: I have not read all of these books
Women in STEM
since it's women's history month here is my ever growing TBR and admiration for women who have come before me. You are invaluable and inspiring to say the least ♡
