Books by Women: So Many You'll Be Shocked You Didn't Read More in High School

425 books written by women. All genres: fiction, non-fiction, biography and memoir, bodice ripper and contemporary and urban fiction, historical fiction and literary fiction, feminist essay, poetry, graphic novels, histories and comedies. I even included things I don't care about (I hate faeries and I've only like vampires in Buffy) and things I can't get enough of (I think there are 4 Alison Weir histories about the Tudors). But still a stunning, if I do say so, array of many types of women from all over the world and all over the spectrum of life.
