Shannon Hale writes from a variety of traditionally female perspectives. Her young adult novel, Princess Academy, is a Newbery Honor book, and her first adult novel, Austenland, about a follower of Mr. Darcy, was adapted for film in 2013. In this Articulate exclusive, Hale explains why it is important not to judge. a book by its (gendered) cover – and how libraries teach us what it means to be ourselves.
