Mia Kankimäki has worked with books all her life: she has a Master’s degree in comparative literature from the University of Helsinki, and she has worked as a copywriter and editor at various publishing houses. Her travels in Tanzania, Kenya, Italy and Japan in the footsteps of inspirational, historical female figures inspired her book The Women I Think About at Night.
