Leo Ortiz
It's not that there aren't good women writers. It's just that this dude is putting shit in to fill up the fucking list.
Jayden Martinez
What are you talking about, retard? Stein was great and she was a writer, but she wasn't a great writer by any measure.
Mason Gray
1. I doubt you've read them all
2. I don't think taking the redpill and reading American Sniper is really gonna enlighten me.
Brayden Barnes
What would your list look like? Who in this list is shit?
Nicholas Wilson
Realize that women belong in the kitchen and giving them the vote has ruined the West
Alexander Brooks
ITT Bunch of babies who have only read Stein on this list and found her too hard
Christian Long

Kill yourself
Kevin Anderson
Are women actually good at anything other than
a.) busywork b.) high-achievement busywork c.) autistic fields, rarely

Jaxon Diaz

Jayden Torres
>you will literally lose nothing by skipping all literature by women

Hudson Russell
>No McCullers
gill urself
Christian Bennett
There are so many great male writers that you don't ever have to read women once you get out of academia. And it's not like we owe women writers anything.
Aaron Phillips
>no Evelyn Waugh
come on OP

That's a dude, bro.
David Hughes
>no Evelyn Waugh

Asher Harris
What a great argument. I'm going to rethink nothing because of it, but I bet you feel really good. And that's the whole point of identity politics in the first place isn't it?
Julian Bell
Holy shit, we've just found his sister
Jack Price
What a great argument. I'm going to rethink nothing because of it, but I bet you feel really good. And that's the whole point of the red pill in the first place isn't it?
Dylan Phillips
What great arguments. I'm going to rethink nothing because of them, but I bet you both feel really good. And that's the whole point of Veeky Forums in the first place isn't it?
John Brooks
>finish a book >"wow that was a great book, my new favorite" >look up author >it's a woman >throw book into the garbage >down vote every thread about it >write negative reviews of it on every site with multiple accounts
Xavier Taylor
Why is everybody giving their opinion when you haven't read more than 3 or 4 of the women in that list?
Dominic Watson
>you haven't read more than 3 or 4 of the women in that list Are you ok, user?
Jaxon Gray
I have read 8 of them. And why the fuck isn't Barbara Tuchman there?
Michael Diaz
Shut the fuck up pretentious piece of shit
Nicholas James
>finish a book >"wow that was a great book, my new favorite" >look up author >it's a woman
That just means you are unironically stupid.
David Wilson
Sauce?
Dylan Cook
Maybe i'll do a post about this later but i'm going to say an abstract in here. There's in Spain an actual tendency to "visibilise" the females work on literature.. This break my balls sometimes, because literary, everytime i open twitter there's the "feminist post" about females characters, the "toxic stereotypes with the girls and the invisibilizing in women on fantasy and science fiction fields for publishing books and for the people to read it and not judge for the sex of the author, even when in the past this occured often i don't think is the actual tendency and there's more space in present for women fiction. This is out of control, every girl or woman who find that interesting ends like a feminist or a radical feminist, and they all actual believe in the patriarchy thing.. This is in Spain, what's in your countries, anons?

Kayden Cooper

Connor Hill

Aaron Brown
I recognize 6 of these names and have read maybe 4
Ayden Morgan
Half of those are shit, and about a third are god-tier. Can you really not tell the difference between a shit woman and a good one?
Christopher Moore
Where's Rupi?
Is Rupi still a meme here?
Isaac Jenkins
Great list. Some of these I haven't read yet.
Henry Ramirez
How about living for the approval of yourself, you childish fuck? Oh, wait, that won't work because you're too lazy to take any train of thought past the "Muh muh muh body looks like" station.
Elijah Taylor
Nice list OP. Does Veeky Forums have a chart for women writers? Someone (you?) should make one. Fairly minimal discussion of books written by women besides Woolf. Wouldn't hurt to see a little more non fiction as well (props for Sontag though).
Oliver Gonzalez
I want to believe, link to their tumblr please
Josiah Fisher
Did you happen to take the picture of the chubby girl reading Nietzsche by any chance?
Just a hunch.
Mason Carter
No Brontë? Are you even trying?
Josiah Allen
sexy feet
Carter Gray
>uses 'woman' as an adjective opinion discarded
Sebastian Anderson
is she the queen of Veeky Forums, lads?
Jeremiah Parker
I haven't read them all but I can without a doubt in my mind say that Alice Walker, Susan Sontag, and Gertrude Stein are garbage.
Flannery O'Connor is worth reading though.
Adam Ross
a little too obvious but still made me laugh. Thanks, bro.
Easton Ortiz
I'm with you on Stein, but what do you dislike about Sontag? Haven't started on her yet, but I will guess that she is pretentious?
