Female Authors You Should Read

elliottholt:

Time lists 21 living female authors (in addition to new Pulitzer winner Donna Tartt) that you should read. It’s a good list, including Alice Munro, Rachel Kusher, Claire Messud and many awesome others, but it’s too short. In addition to the names on that Time list, I’d add: Lydia Davis, Marilynne Robinson, Jennifer Egan, Joan Didion, Yiyun Li, Lauren Groff, Jamie Quatro, Laura van den Berg, Ramona Ausubel, Elizabeth McCracken, Ann Patchett, Anne Carson, Marie-Helene Bertino, Danielle Evans, Caitlin Horrocks, Sarah Waters, Lydia Millet, Jenny Offill, Stacey D’Erasmo, Alena Graedon, Molly Antopol, Adelle Waldman, Claire Vaye Watkins, Roxane Gay, Porochista Khakpour, Leslie Jamison, Elif Batuman, Nami Mun, Maggie Nelson, Maggie Shipstead, Jennifer DuBois, Alice Elliott Dark, Karen Joy Fowler, Emily St. John Mandel, Megan Mayhew Bergman, Rebecca Makkai, Dani Shapiro, Meghan Daum…I could go on, but you get the idea.

The point is: There are a lot of amazing writers in the world who happen to be female.
