After some good feedback from my “30 days, 30 Women” challenge, I’ve decided to continue to see how many days of female writers I can get to.
So here is day 31….
The Crowded Street - Winifred Holtby (Read 2025)
#modernism #winifredholtby
Black-and-white portrait of a woman with short, wavy hair, wearing a sleeveless dress and a chunky beaded necklace. She gazes directly at the camera with a calm, serious expression.
"There's never been a lack of men willing to die bravely. The trouble is to find a few able to live sensibly."
― Winifred Holtby

English novelist and journalist, now best known for her novel South Riding, which was posthumously published in 1936, Winifred Holtby wrote, "The crown of life is neither happiness nor annihilation; it is understanding." #WinifredHoltby #understanding
Let's read the Bible together in the next year. Today our passages are 2 Kings 4:18–5:27; Acts 15:1-35; Psalm 141:1-10; and Proverbs 17:23. #WinifredHoltby #ContemporaryEnglishVersion #BibleReadings #BibleinaYear #2Kings #Acts #Psalms #Proverbs
From the archive for Winifred Holtby, #BornOnThisDay in 1898, thoughts on SOUTH RIDING.
An excellent, multilayered, feminist novel, rich with progressive values and a strong emotional heart. I found it so absorbing! #BOTD #WinifredHoltby #BookSky 💙📚
