Women Writers Meme

[rolanni]

Snabbled from deliasherman.

This is an interesting list, if un-alphabetized. It seems to give the lie to the persistent myth that few women are working in the field and that those who are, are disrespected. Long as it is, I feel that there are still names missing, despite the efforts of commentors on Delia's blog to amend it -- a process that would, actually, be made easier by alphabetizing, but that is work for Someone Else. Today, the laundry calls my name. Also? The bills.


Bold the women by whom you own books
Italicize those by whom you’ve read something of (short stories count). For the purposes of my list, below, this includes books that I once owned, but own no longer.
*Star those you don’t recognize
Unmarked are those whose work you have not read

Stephenie Meyer -- she has no 'a's in her name, as I learned from looking it up I don't know how many times to see if we had any copies of her books in.

Think I've got it fixed.

It was good seeing you yesterday!

Aren't you good! Thank you. Will take this to the top, for the edification of the masses *g*

Mailed the list to your e-mail account since the blog automatically removed paragraph marks. That might be more useful, if you plan to update the top.
