most of the books by women that I like are about men

Do Anna Karenina and Madame Bovary count?
They're probably the only books that I read about women that I liked.

The ghost story bits of Wuthering Heights were okay but a whole lot of that book was pretty dull.

Even the most intelligent races . . . are a large number of women whose brains are closer in size to those of gorillas than to the most developed male brains. This inferiority is so obvious that no one can contest it for a moment; only its degree is worth discussion. . . . Women . . . represent the most inferior forms of human evolution and . . . are closer to children and savages than to an adult, civilized man. They excel in fickleness, inconsistency, absence of thought and logic, and incapacity to reason. Without a doubt there exist some distinguished women, very superior to the average man but they are as exceptional as the birth of any monstrosity, as, for example, of a gorilla with two heads; consequently, we may neglect them entirely

>>7482557
The Devil Wears Prada was okay until I looked it up on Wikipedia and realized that it wasn't all a true to life account of working for Anna Wintour. That killed it because I had mostly been enjoying it under the assumption that everything described about the boss was supposed to be a portrait of a real insane person.
