Writer Wednesday Round-Up #69: "Influential Women"
To participate, simply post a blog on that theme, but tag that post with "writer wednesday" (within quotes, all lowercase) before the following Wednesday at 12PM EST.
- Round-up all the participating entries in a entry such as this.
- Feature all the participating entries in our Friday newsletter that goes directly to our over 12,000 members.
- Feature all the participating entries via our Twitter with the popular #writerwednesday hashtag.
- Select our personal favourite that will be featured to the over 13,000 members in our Zoomers on Facebook community.
In the latest edition of this feature, we wanted to celebrate International Women's Day. Here are the entries that took us up on our "Influential Women" writing challenge:

“They will someday. They will.” Nadya was a revolutionary to the bone. The daughter of nobility, she had the best education a woman could get in Russia. She had also been imprisoned and exiled for political offenses. ”Come home. I’ve started a fire.”
