Kathryn J. Atwood

Before Kathryn wrote six award-winning young adult books on women and war for the Chicago Review Press, her poetry and book reviews appeared in a wide variety of print and electronic journals, including Afterimage: A Journal of Arts and Cultural Criticism, PopMatters, and War, Literature, and the Arts. Her admiration for the European resisters of both world wars inspired her to write her first novel, The Belgian Girls.

She currently works as a freelance developmental editor and as a senior writer for Midwest Book Review.
