Any good books are written by women?

Yes there are plenty of great female authors out there who bring a unique feminine perspective to literature. See Jane Austen, Emily Bronte, Mary Shelley, for starters.

If you like political stuff, I would reccomend Emma Goldman, Hannah Arendt, and Naomi Klein.
Goldman for Anarchist revolutionary thought.
Arendt for flaws with Totalitarianism
Naimi Klein for contemporary dissent of corporate globalism and Capitalism as it is currently.

There’s thousands, the problem is that most people on /lit/ really haven’t read extensively or explored at all outside the basic bitch stuff that’s discussed here, and even that stuff people don’t really understand. Here’s just a couple:
Mina Loy, Annie Dillard, George sand, shelaugh Delaney, Charlotte turner smith, Catherine Sedgwick, Marie Corelli, Virginie despentes, Mary hunter Austin, Susanna centlivre, Willa Cather, Jean Rhys, Agatha Christie, Dorothy sayers

And then of course there’s the well known ones, Woolf, the brontes, Dickinson, etc

It's amazing how you aren't smart enough to understand what a bell curve is. Your chart does not prove that women are dumber than men; it proves that women and men are, on average, equal in intelligence, only men have more variation, which means there are less female idiots and geniuses and more male idiots and geniuses. It only takes 1 female genius to write a great book.

Why do you think they score the highest on western standardized testing (SAT/ACT)? Funny how people make the argument that the reason why African Americans don't score well on these tests is due to it being a Eurocentric metric of intelligence.
