This is my list of the female authors that I have discovered... so far! I am still compiling information on many of them, so if you discover any info to share, I would love to add it to their page. With so many authors and so many books, obviously I haven't even read half of them, so I don't know much about some of these authors yet.
Any books with a review or summary available will have a clickable link. Always looking for new summaries and reviews to add, so send them along.
Enjoy!
