Books Across Genres by Women Authors, Each Year Between 1994-2023 - Page 3

We start in the current year and work backwards. For each year, there are four books: poetry, adult fiction (novel or short stories), adult nonfiction, and juvenile (children, middle grade, or YA). I was going to be more ambitious and go all the way back to 1944, but I started to feel frustrated by the availability of woman-authored books in the 90s, and I knew it would only get harder as I went back further in time. Believe it or not, things are much better for women in publishing in the 21st century. I had fun making the first 2/3 of this list, though.
