The REALLY Dead Women Writers Meme

Alright, I need a meme break. Here is the beautifully educational meme of women writers prior to 1800 compiled by Bardiac. Apparently, I have a lot of reading to do.

In bold are the authors I've read at least an excerpt of--In italics the folks I'd like to read someday. I won't do ?? marks this time for ones I haven't heard of because that would just take too much time. Assume I haven't heard of a significant portion of these women! Great job Bardiac for putting this together!
