Louisa May Alcott
Margaret Atwood
Anne Bradstreet
Anne Bronte
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Fanny Burney
Willa Cather
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Zora Neal Hurston
Dorthy Parker
Anne Sexton

Maya Angelou
Toni Morrison
Shirley Jackson
Alice Munro
Zadie Smith
Elizabeth Gaskell
Donna Tart
Elizabeth Bowen
Anyone I should add?
Louisa May Alcott & Anne Bronte. ♥ :)
ReplyDeleteI'm eager to read Anne since she is the least talked about Bronte sister!
DeleteI'm rather ashamed to admit I haven't read any Virginia Woolf or Sylvia Plath, but I intend to - I'm eager to read some Charlotte Perkins Gilman, too! :) I can confirm, however, that Anne Bronte, Louisa May Alcott, Mary Shelley, Elizabeth Gaskell and Shirley Jackson are fantastic. :D
ReplyDeleteWoolf and Plath are really great, I highly recommend Plath's poetry.
DeleteI have been eager to read Shirley Jackson for a while now, but haven't gotten around to her yet, I would like to start with We Have Always Lived in the Castle.
