Please, no trolling. What are some good books that deal with feminine (not necessarily female) problems? Or perhaps a feminine perspective on the issues of existence, morality, religion etc.?

I don't think there's much difference. I guess you're better off trying to view everything as human philosophy, and only think twice when something strikes you as painfully male.

I feel like I understand most of my femininity from knowing how I differ from most men. I guess when you know how you're also different from women you have the perfect outline of yourself -- and I guess being on /lit/ you also know very well how you differ from some women? It's an individual thing, but I think it's exceedingly individual for intellectual women. Most of them I know don't have any real friends, and they're content with that.

I haven't read any feminine lit. I really dig joanna newsom, though, and she sings about being a woman a lot. Too much of it is about being a woman to a man, but I guess there aren't many words generated when you're a human alone.

"I have got some business out at the edge of town
Candy weighing both of my pockets down
'Til I can hardly stay afloat, from the weight of them
And knowing how the common-folk condemn
What it is I do, to you, to keep you warm
Being a woman, being a woman"

I really hope you didnt mean to ask for domestic lit

The Neapolitan Quartet by Elena Ferrante
Extra keyed because Ferrante has managed to complain more or less total anonymity. Nobody besides her publisher knows who she is.

No, seriously. Harry Potter ranks as amongst the most favourite books of women. Same with the films.
