31 Historical Fiction Titles with Janis Daly

Join award-winning historical fiction author, Janis Robinson Daly, as she shares a curated list of thirty-one titles of historical fiction to celebrate Women’s History Month. Each book spotlights women in history whose achievements languished in the shadows until authors discovered their stories and wrote them, imagining the women’s emotional responses as they strode forward with dreams in their minds and hopes in their hearts. Come share which novels you’ve read on the list of thirty-one and discover others to add to your To Be Read list. Includes a Bingo-styled game with prizes, book signing, and more. Get ready to add more interesting books to your To Be Read list. Learn more at www.janisrdaly.com.

Bio: 

Inspired by the discovery that an ancestor founded the Woman’s Medical College of PA in 1850, Daly wrote her first best-selling novel, The Unlocked Path, which celebrates pioneering women doctors at the turn of the 20th Century. Its sequel, The Path Beneath Her Feet, honors the work of the American Women’s Hospitals in rural America during the 1930s. Her third book with Black Rose, Under Two Flags, is scheduled for a March 2026 release.

Daly graduated with a B.A. in Psychology from Wheaton College, at the time, a women’s college. At Wheaton, she developed a fond appreciation of the supportive relationships established between students and a heightened awareness of female-centric issues. Daly is a partner and supporter of the National Women’s History Alliance, the Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum project. Her annual literary citizenship program, #31titleswomeninhistory, has gained recognition from historical fiction authors and avid readers as an innovative way to celebrate Women's History Month in March. Splitting her time between Cape Cod, New Hampshire, New Jersey and snowbird destinations, a tablet becomes Janis Robinson Daly’s library and desk, packed for reading and writing, wherever she might land.
