Politics & Prose at Busboys and Poets 14th & V welcomes Miranda Pennington to present her new book "A Girl Walks Into a Book: What the Brontes Taught Me About Live, Love, and Women's Work."
In this tour-de-force hybrid of memoir and literary criticism, Pennington tells two striking coming-of-age stories, charting the course of both her research into the Brontës and the sisters’ development as women and as artists. A writer and teacher of creative nonfiction, Pennington has been reading and rereading Jane Eyre since she was ten. Introverted and bisexual, she found her truest companions in books, and the Brontës and their creations have served not just as friends but as models of the strong, defiant woman Pennington needed to become.
