Daily Rituals: Women at Work
A sequel, and a corrective: In the first Daily Rituals, I featured far more men than women; in this second volume, I correct the imbalance with profiles of the day-to-day working lives of 143 women writers, artists, and performers, including Virginia Woolf, Dorothy Parker, Frida Kahlo, Nina Simone, Meredith Monk, and Miranda July.
