The Women
ON SALE NOW
The missing. The forgotten. The brave…
The Women.
From master storyteller Kristin Hannah, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Nightingale and The Four Winds, comes the story of a turbulent, transformative era in America: the 1960s. The Women is that rarest of novels—at once an intimate portrait of a woman coming of age in a dangerous time and an epic tale of a nation divided by war and broken by politics, of a generation both fueled by dreams and lost on the battlefield.

“Hannah again shines her light on overlooked women in history”
―People Magazine (Book of the Week)
“Hannah’s tale, rich with period detail, is an impassioned tribute to the heroism of the many thousands who did serve, as well as a hymn to female solidarity in the darkest of settings. It’s a surprisingly original take on a well-trodden subject.”
―The Times (London)
“Hannah enjoys the authorial reach to educate legions of readers about the significant subjects she dramatizes. In doing so she demonstrates that, just like the women she writes about, she deserves to be recognized.”
―Minneapolis Star Tribune
“Hannah is in top form here… Hannah’s real superpower is her ability to hook you along from catastrophe to catastrophe, sometimes peering between your fingers, because you simply cannot give up on her characters. She gathers women into the (Vietnam) experience with moving conviction.”
―The New York Times
“Hannah tells the story of real but unsung heroes”
―The Washington Post

I’m going on the road again in September to celebrate the paperback publication of The Women. I can’t wait to see readers and talk about the book. The link to buy tickets for all events are in my bio, and I’ll add it here: static.macmillan.com/static/smp/the-women-9781250178633/tour.html. Hope to see you there. #kristinhannah #thewomenbook #bookclub #vietnamveteran #nurses
Thank you to Kent District Library for a truly magical, once in a lifetime night where more than 8,000 readers, book lovers, librarians, library patrons, and military veterans came together to celebrate our mutual love of the written word. I’ll admit to a lot of fear before it started. This was definitely no ordinary book event. I feared that no one would show up and then as I saw the crowd pouring in, I feared I wouldn’t be able to stand on that stage and find my voice. Thank heavens I was with my bff, Megan Chance. I don’t think I have a photo of it, but we walked on stage together, holding hands, and that was all it took to steady us. We all know that one good friend can change everything, right? And it turned out to be a spectacular bit of fun. We talked about everything—our youth, our friendship, our love of writing, the difficulties of being working moms and empty nesters. Everything. And the readers and veterans and nurses and book clubs who came together to listen and to support the amazing Kent District Library system turned it all into a celebration. A real night to remember. Thank you to everyone who worked so hard behind the scenes to make it all happen, and thanks again to the readers and booksellers who supported us. #kristinhannah #kentdistrictlibrary #veterans #meganchanceauthor
