West With the Nightall users rating West With the Night
Beryl Markham
tzeitel says:
Her life was just one adventure after another. Hemingway said "she has written so well, and marvelously well, that I was completely ashamed of myself as a writer".
2
Eleanor of Aquitaineall users rating Eleanor of Aquitaine
Alison Weir
tzeitel says:
Queen of both France & England. At a time when women were barely seen (let alone heard) Eleanor made her voice heard - loud and clear!
3
Nellie Bly Nellie Bly
Brooke Kroeger

Pioneer journalist who went above and beyond for a good story - including being committed to an insane asylum to show the deplorable conditions patients lived in.
4
Home Before Morning Home Before Morning
Lynn Van Devanter

Vietnam from a nurse's perspective - not for the faint of heart!
5

6
The Wolves At The Doorall users rating The Wolves At The Door

Before Lawrence of Arabia there was Gertrude Bell!
8
Child of the Dark Child of the Dark
Carolina Maria De Jesus

Her life was one of poverty and fear. This is what a born writer is I guess - with no education or hope for anything better she could not NOT write.
9
The Nazi Officer's Wifeall users rating The Nazi Officer's Wife
Edith Hahn Beer
tzeitel says:
You are on pins and needles through the whole book. I cannot imagine the fear she must have felt for so long!
10
The Betrayal of Liliuokalani The Betrayal of Liliuokalani
Helena Allen

The story of Hawaii's last queen whose government was illegaly overthrown by American forces. A must read!

The movie did not even scratch the surface of her controversial life!
