Nin Anais Books
A French-born novelist, passionate eroticist, and short story writer, who gained international fame with her journals. Spanning the years 1931 to 1974, these writings offer an account of one woman's voyage of self-discovery. Largely ignored until the 1960s, she is now regarded as one of the leading female writers of the 20th century and a source of inspiration for women challenging conventionally defined gender roles.
