Books Celebrating Powerful Women:

We believe that this category is necessary.
We long for the day when we don’t have to single out authors –
or anyone of any walk of life, for that matter – for their gender.
We celebrate female authors, and Books written about women.
The Guardian asked their readers to share;
which female writers shaped their lives. Here are the most mentioned female authors, in no particular order, and what readers had to say about them: Celebrated/Inspiring female writers you need to read.
