Good Housekeeping's 100 Best Books Written by Women - Page 2

There have been many lists of the 100 best books to read, but few focusing solely on female writers. From gripping works of fiction to literary classics, this list of 100 books to read by women was selected by the Good Housekeeping team and shows that women's writing is complex, brilliant, moving, innovative – everything the best writing should be. FYI the list is ranked in line with the list items (i.e. 1 is the best book, gradually descending to 100).
