Writing by Women - The 1950s - Page 3

I'm putting together reading lists for the works by women challenges that I'll be participating in in 2021, and this is as good a way as any to give myself a range to look at. Works are included based on their first year of official publication, not their time of original composition.
P.S. Quality over quantity, people. If your score largely depends on Christie, that's not the point of this list.
