My Favorite Women Authors

I’m surprised I haven’t covered this already but I looked through my old blog posts to confirm it.

So I’m rectifying this now.

It’s Women’s History Month and I want to highlight some of my favorite women authors. Now, of course, I do love Jane Austen but I think I want to focus on more modern authors. So Jane is on my list, just not for this blog.

Here we go!
