that Brontë is terrible and should not have been answered. I neglected to predict someone saying Austen in my original comment (>>12876571) though, since I thought we were above that. apparently not, since you just called her one of the greatest female "authors" of all time

not being able to enjoy austen and emily brontë is your defect, not anything wrong with their writing, I imagine you really enjoy Pessoa and the French existentialists because they are "literally you" and you dislike women encroaching on "your" artform with their stories about domesticity and love

the thing about female writing is that often the best parts (i find) are the conversational moments are the most interesting. this is likely because conversation is the only art women are particularly skilled at in comparison to men. that being said, Sylvia Plath, Virginia Woolf, and Charlotte Brönte are likely the best.

They do it differently to dudes. The psychological insight is not as heavy, then occasionally plunges into some depth a man simply couldn't ever see let alone reach. Their prose is often smoother and more readable, fluid seeming. They have failings that often feel specifically female. The emotional affects are more lachrymose. They really do spend more time relating seemingly random yammering and describing clothes. Not that those are necessarily faults.
