3: The Eternal Feminine by Carolyn Wells

Inspired by “Classic Tales” and “Lore” podcast, I created this podcast to share tales written by women writers deemed classic literature and popular fiction of their time. "Wildflower Tales" aims to cultivate an appreciation for the literary heritage of female authors, some still known, many not. Wildflowers are known for their distinct varieties, and so too were these pioneering writers. Each writer brought her own unique voice, perspective, and experiences to the literary table. From the social commentaries to hauntingly beautiful prose, their individuality blossoms, captivating readers.
