“For Tiya Miles, Girlhood Reading Was ‘My Escape and Joy’” — “My favorite author was Madeleine L’Engle,” says the National Book Award-winning historian, whose new book is “Wild Girls: How the Outdoors Shaped the Women Who Challenged a Nation.” “In middle school I would ride the city bus to the public library and check out L’Engle’s novels for teens.” Published October 12, 2023 in the The New York Times.
