Know Her Words

Know Her Words

Know Her Words is a PEN International Women Writers Committee Initiative to celebrate the best women’s writing from around the world.
We invite all our PEN Centres to share the titles of the best books written by the women of their country.
This project will generate a global selection of works by women, offering a curated list from which to select extraordinary writing by women to encourage cross-cultural understanding and appreciation of the issues, stories, and imaginative breadth of each other’s places.
It is our hope that from this seed list, we may inspire the creation of intra-and cross-Centre Book Clubs, further Reading Lists, Author presentations—and more!
