The New York Times: The New Vanguard of Women's Writing

Here are some excellent suggestions for future reading.This list is utilised by the greatestbooks.org to compile their master list. To quote the March 2018 New York Times article:

"Our critics chose 15 remarkable books by women that are shaping the way we read and write fiction in the 21st century.....
The books we selected are a diverse bunch. They are graphic novels, literary fiction and works inflected with horror and fantasy..... They are wildly experimental and staunchly realist.....Every one of these books features a woman at the center. She is brainy (Rachel Cusk's "Outline" trilogy), grimy ("Homesick for Another World"), terrorized ("The Vegetarian") and all of the above (the new mother in "Dept. of Speculation"). Each book's utterly distinct style emerges as its women try to invent a language for their lives."
