sailsgoboom Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 So, of course I had to open my Goodreads list and do the math. 41% of the books I've read were written by women. Not terrible. I imagine if I counted all my childhood books, Ann M. Martin would make that number skyrocket. (Though... I doubt she actually wrote them all?)OMG I was soooo into Babysitters Club growing up. That and Animorphs would heavily distort my numbers if I tried to figure it out haha.Sent from my XT1031 using Tapatalk Quote Jess the Adventurer "jess!" on MYZONE * Goodreads Link to comment
TheOtherScott Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 I think I studied at least five different female writers during my Undergrad. Bronte, Shelley, Atwood, Woolf, and Austen, plus a few playwrights. Quote PR's5k - 21:2910k - 47:26 43:2921.1 - 2:05:26 1:44:21 Link to comment

Schaengel Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Okay I will try to see how many I get to without looking through my bookshelf :- Anne Seghers - The Seventh Cross (For me a must read, first time I read it at school and many times since)- Suzanne Collins - Hunger Games Trilogy- Veronica Roth - Divergent trilogy- Rachel Joyce - The unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry- J. K Rowling of course but I can't find more in my head, sounds like something that can be changed...

fitnessgurl Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 I personally don't pay attention to the gender of the author. If I like the title, cover and first few pages; I check it out of the library and take it home. If I want to read more by the aforementioned author, that's when I pay attention.
