“The product of slavery tended to be luxury items that women would engage with,” such as fine cottons, sugar and tea, Tanzer says. When she was pursuing her master’s degree in humanities at the University of Florida, she focused on 18th- and 19th-century novels written by women about the transatlantic slave trade. Originally from Marietta, Georgia, Tanzer says she has considered herself a feminist from a young age. With her novels Vermilion, The Pleasure Merchant, and the newest Creatures of Will and Temper, Tanzer attempts to redesign history with just a taste of the fantastical.

Molly Tanzer is the author of 'Creatures of Will and Temper,' 'Vermilion' and 'The Pleasure Merchant.'
