Women Writers Meme List -- Alphabetized

[rolanni]

Title Edited, and Edited to Add: Folks, this is a meme. I will not be updating the list, though certainly someone else may wish to take that on.

Thanks to Susan Cole for alphabetizing the list, and cleaning out the duplicates that had already snuck in.

The Rules of the Game Are:
Bold the women by whom you own books
Italicize those by whom you’ve read something of (short stories count).
*Star those you don’t recognize
Unmarked are those whose work you have not read
