Hey everyone, who are your favorite female authors / books by women ? Bonus point for something with grand scope or excellent prose. Experimental is OK. Thanks ^_−☆
"miao dao" by joyce carol oates was like my favorite short story in middle school! its one of her more niche works but i just love oates writing in general.
i really like a wizard of earthsea by ursula le guin and i haven't yet made time for Middlemarch unfortunately
parable of the sower by octavia e butler !
currently thinking about "the book of goose," by yiyun li, and "a spy in the house of love," by anais nin.
i second octavia butler and offer up ntozake shange
