Goodreads "Best Woman-Authored Books"

"Best books by a female author", as voted by Goodreads users.
Despite the clumsy official title on Goodreads, I think this makes a good challenge that gets increasingly interesting and unpredictable the further one descends the list.
A few suspect and duplicate entries have been removed. Up to date as at 20th May, 2020.
