>Anon, who's your favorite woman author? Woman poet? Woman philosopher? Y-you do read women, don't you?


«WOMAN AUTHOR», «WOMAN POET», «WOMAN PHILOSOPHER»? THOSE ARE SPURIOUS, ABSURD TERMS; AUTHORSHIP, POETICAL TALENT, AND PHILOSOPHICAL TALENT, ARE NOT CONTINGENT TO SEX, NOR TO GENDER.

WHY ARE YOU SEXISTIC & GENDERISTIC?

Denise Giardina and also I hate women.

Anna Akhmatova and Eileen Chang.

Short stories are the only form of literature I have read written by females. Here's my top 5:

Basement Miracles by R.S. Wynn
Cyber Monday by Anne Rasmussen
Other Names by Chloe N. Clark
Superman by Cari Luna
The Drive South by Sarah Boudreau

>Whats a woman?

>>16737243
Although I must add that, if I remember correctly, if I had read those short stories without knowing the author's names, I would have never known whether or not they were female.

Therefor the nomenclature "female author" is a little pointless.

>Author
Flannery O'Connor

>Poet
Anne Sexton

>Philosopher
Simone Weil, I guess? I don't really read philosophy.

>>16737043
The most retarded trip strikes again.

>>16737243
>>16737284
O'Connor is great. The Artificial Nigger is the greatest American short story

>>16737401
That's simply not true. This is the greatest American short story:

baby
i wish i had 2 tongues so i could suck your tits
twice

baby
i wish i had 4 legs so i could cross the street twice as quick
and suck on your tits

baby
i wish i had 20 fingers so i could count all the way to twenty
while sucking on those sweet sweet tits

baby
i wish i had 3 feet so i could wear my favourite pair of shoes plus the shoe i found next to the road the first time you let me
suck those fine tits of yours

baby
I'll never forget those ostrich eggs
hanging from your chest

Charlotte Bronte wrote one of my favorite novels. In general, 19th century English female authors are incredible. I can't wait to read more. I'd like to revisit Frankenstein, this time in English, as well as reading for the first time Wuthering Heights, Villette, Emma, among others.

All these people saying there don't exist major female philosophers are aggressively pseud. They probably only know about the most normie ones (Heidegger, Wittgenstein, Kant, et al) and know nothing about anything that isn't in an "intro to philosophy" class. Read more.

Elena Garro’s Un Hogar Sólido is amazing

>>16738419
I added it to my reading list because some anon kept shilling it. It might have been you; either way, I'm looking forward to it.

>Imagine having a gf that looks like that.

Why would you want a girlfriend who looks like a generic stereotype?

I quite like Virginia Woolfe. I recently read To the Lighthouse and I enjoyed her prose, I feel she really captured that stream of consciousness feel. Hiromu Arakawa, author of Fullmetal Alchemist, is another good one. I do love Mary Herron, but that's only if you count screenplays for authorship. I honestly can't think of a female philosopher other than Ayn Rand, let alone one I've read.

I'm not that other guy. I just want to let everyone know that you don't read and that therefore no one should take your opinion seriously on anything, whether or not you're right.

Because women need a special selection. Like in tennis. Sure you could drop the woman question, but don't be surprised when no one lists any.

best female poet is christina rossetti
female philosopher, wtf are you on crack?

Emily Dickinson is my favorite female poet.

As for female writers, I honestly haven't read that many of their works.

I think Carol Churchill is pretty mediocre but I liked the overall message of Love and Information.

>>16736981
Linda Zagzebski and Eleonore Stump are my favourite female philosophers.

>>16744876
You will never be a woman. As hard as you try to type like one, you just come off like every other quirky le epic fag. You're incredibly transparent and you need to go back.

>>16736981
Wuthering Heights, Vilette and Pride and Prejudice are the only three books I've ever thought were just as good as the output of the male canon (i.e. the canon)

Middlemarch had its moments but fuck me, Eliot is insufferable.

Jane austen, Julian of norwich, Emily dickinson

There are many excellent female writers in English. What is more remarkable is the lack of female writers in other languages. I have read some interesting articles about this subject and the tl;dr explanation is Protestantism.
