Feminista's 100 Great 20th Century Novels by Female Authors

The following list of the 100 Great 20th Century Works of Fiction by Women was developed by Feminista! in response to Modern Library's 100 Best Novels of the 20th Century. FYI the list only had 96 books, so I added 4 books myself that fit the list criteria.
