Female authors

[Anonymous No.11487246]

I just realized all the books I've read this year are from male writers. Are there any female writers in particular lit would consider worthwhile? I'm curious how the writing would be different.

The only female writer I ever liked was Evelyn Waugh. All the rest were pure cancer.

“My publisher, who was so good as a taster and editor, when she became a writer, lo and behold, it was all this feminine tosh.”
He dismissed all writing by women because of what he views as their “sentimentality, the narrow view of the world.”

It depends, are you interested in horror? If you are then Mary Shelley (Frankenstein) and Shirley Jackson (The Haunting of Hill House) are essential.
