Enheduanna: the forgotten woman writer

Her name was pressed into clay 4,300 years ago. Her works were only fully translated into English in 2023. Enheduanna, high priestess, poet, and daughter of the world's first empire builder, is the earliest named author in human history. Most people have never heard of her.
