Books About Women Every Man Should Read

My kingdom for a man who reads books by women! It's not that the books they love aren't good. It's that... c'mon, dudes. Don't call yourself "well read" if your bookshelf is whiter and dude-er than a frat house, okay? Half of the world is women! And maybe don't try and a date a woman who writes if you don't want to read the written works of women.
