Language is a dynamic tool that evolved, extended, and reinvented itself in the voices of those who speak it and continues to do so. Perhaps some of the most interesting additions to the vocabulary of the English language have come not from scientists, linguists, or grammarians, but from storytellers and writers, particularly women writers who were brave enough to play with words. This photostory is a tribute to ten remarkable women writers whose imagination was not only limited to storytelling but also extended to the very pages of the dictionary, leaving behind words that lived on to evolve and reverberate.
