. . . the world’s first novel was written by a woman!
In the year 1007, a Japanese noble woman named Murasaki Shikibu wrote the world’s first full novel entitled, The Tale of Genji. This is the story of a prince looking for love and wisdom. In its English translation it covers 54 chapters over 1000 pages of text.
Nope, didn’t know that! Learn something new every day!
I had no idea. Thanks for the information.
