Become Well Read Without Reading Anything by a Man

I have read and enjoyed many books by men, however, it is no longer necessary for the majority of your library to be dominated by male writers. With this list I have aimed to include a variety of works by women. I tried to include a variety of genres, diverse authors, and a mix of classic and modern works. I do apologize for the fact that this list is very anglocentric as my first language is English.
Note: I do not necessarily agree with the politics and opinions of all the authors included in this list. I seperate the art from the artist.
