SISTER NOVELISTS
The Trailblazing Porter Sisters,

Monday, October 24, 2022
6:00 PM
NB: This is not a JASNA Greater Phoenix event, but we hope our members will turn out to support Devoney’s new work.
“Clever, compassionate and compelling, Devoney Looser is my favorite person to read on the subject of writers. The Porter sisters have found the perfect biographer to uncover their scandalously neglected story.”
— Lucy Worsley, author of Jane Austen at Home
and If Walls Could Talk
Published October 25, 2022. A Kirkus starred review title & one of “Fall’s Most Anticipated Books,” according to Apple Books. Now available for pre-order from online booksellers.
Devoney Looser (devoney.com) is Regents Professor of English at Arizona State University and the author or editor of 10 books on the history of women’s writing.
