There are no good female writers, only mediocrities shining against the barren grey backdrop of their wretched gender's intellectual ineptitude and artistic impotence. Take your putrid foul holes adorned by roastbeef flaps back to lebbit and never post on /lit/ again. We have standards here.

Too obvious. She’s one of the top five writers of the twentieth century of any gender.

Iris Murdoch

Susan Sontag wrote a novel I’m very fond of, as well: The Volcano Lover.

A.S. Byatt deserves the Nobel Prize, and Jeanette Winterson also has multiple good books and a great one, under her belt.

Eudora Welty is probably my favourite short story writer outside of Kafka.

Dear anon: Woolf is talked about quite a bit here. She needs no help. I posted a bunch of Women writers who I feel are generally neglected here.

Now be a good anon and go read The Story of an African Farm by Olive Schreiner, which is the only masterpiece I know of to be written by a 14 year old girl. It inspired tears from me in its melancholic beauty.
