Mary Shelley, Jane Austin, J.K. Rowling, Madeleine L'Engle to name a few.

And just because you don't like Victorian-era romance novels doesn't mean those authors suck.

Alright I'll check them out.

I thought Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein sucked when I read it, granted I was much younger and might have been dumb.

I just remembered it as some pussy man made monster just wanting to find love.

Maybe I’ll reread it

I agree it isn't good by todays standards, but I think most people would agree it's a classic book that's worth reading once.

Jane Austen is great. I would also add Ayn Rand (even though "Atlas Shrugged" needed an editor.)

What I've never seen is a good history book written by a woman. The couple of good female historians I thought I knew of turned out to be trannies.

Ayn Rand was full of shit with her objectivism philosophy. Russian jew.

I think she went nuts with her fundamentalist objectivism, but she wrote some good stuff. I'd recommend Anthem. It's a short story.

Barbara Tuchman: Guns of August is one. Harper Lee

Disagree, I’ve read many good books written by a woman. My last favorite author was that faggot Steven King. Not any more

Beverly Clearly and Judy Blume both influenced by childhood greatly with their books. A lot of fond memories. Their work even holds up when you get older and reread them.

Ursula K. Le Guin for 80s science fiction.

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley for Frankenstein Margaret Mitchell for Gone with the Wind

[–] • 2 pts

Ursula LeGuinn; Pearl S. Buck; Harper Lee (one single novel)

Because they can't abstract or comprehend the objective. Their only specialty is wallowing around in emotion

I do like some works by some female authors, but women by nature tend to be interested in social interactions and feelings and so forth. Men concentrate on the big moments, the set-ups and rewards. Everything usually boils down to hunter/gatherer.

I liked Margret Weiss for sci-fi stuff. Lots of rich romantic novelists are women.

Mary Shelley, Sylvia Plath, Margaret Atwood ( i know lib fem, but I liked year of the flood, never read handmaid), Daphne Du maurier - only read some of Rebecca, George Eliot

I dig stuff too
