edit data

Splitting her time between Cape Cod, NH, NJ, and snowbird destinations, a tablet becomes Janis Robinson Daly’s library and desk, packed for reading and writing, wherever she might land. Inspired by the discovery that an ancestor founded the Woman’s Medical College of PA, Daly’s first novel, The Unlocked Path, celebrates pioneering women doctors at the turn of the 20th century. Its sequel, The Path Beneath Her Feet, honors the work of the American Women’s Hospitals in rural America during the 1930s. Her third book with Black Rose Writing, Under Two Flags, is a retelling of a memoir of a young Boston woman who travels to Berlin in 1916 to study opera. Daly's grandfather, Eliot H. Robinson, Sr. ghost-wrote the original memoir in 1918.

International Women’s Day 2025

“I believe that women’s history and women’s stories are still under-told, which means that there’s a hunger for them.” – Bestselling author of THE RED TENT, Anita Diamant. I agree, Anita, and I aim to do something about that hunger with my #31titleswomeninhistory literary citizenship program—a curated list of thirty-one titles, chosen to educate…
