Supporting women authors

hmr1016

I’ve been making an effort to read more books written by women and explore a literary world that I was never exposed to in school, so I thought I would create a thread to discuss our favorite women authors/books we’ve read. My favorites that I’ve read so far are Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston, Reading Lolita in Tehran by Azar Nafisi, and A Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood. I would love more recommendations!

I loved both Their Eyes Were Watching God and A Handmaid's Tale!  Another one is Beloved by Toni Morrison.  Be prepared to cry - it's devastating.

@Guide 65 that’s next on my list then!! I finished Their Eyes Were Watching God on a train and was bawling.
