Painter Hilma af Klint, fiction writer Lucia Berlin, park ranger Betty Reid Soskin, librarian Belle da Costa Greene, activist and author Zitkála-Šá. These are all women who shaped the world, yet only recently have they been recognized for their achievements. These remarkable women—and many others—still are not widely known beyond specific circles.
 

Let’s shine a spotlight on women who have been left too long in the shadows. In the 2026 Sitting Room Library Anthology, we invite you to celebrate an overlooked heroine. Women who, through literature, art, or advocacy, paved the way for all of us. All contributions are welcome including poetry, prose, and visual arts* that can introduce our community of readers to inspiring figures.

Submissions are now closed. The anthology will be published and launched on June 6 at our annual Birthday Party.  Stay tuned for the digital version which will be published here soon after.
