Book Meme 2--Women Writers

Since I did one last month for Black literature, I thought it would be fun to do another for women's history. This list is inspired by recommendations from several top book lists around the web. I also added some of the nation's top bestsellers over the past year. I'm not taggin anyone tonight since it's a long list, but feel free to jump right in!
