Five favorite books by female authors

By goldenforest2004

Trying to make myself read more women than men this year. What 5 books would you suggest? I’m open to pretty much anything — classics, romance, horror, sci-fi, poetry, nonfiction. A few favorites I’ve already read this year: - Beloved by Toni Morrison - 40,000 in Gehenna by C.J. Cherryh - Black Wave by Kim Ghattas - The Awakening by Kate Chopin - To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf
