Katie Allison Granju, Martha Sears, all Eight of the La Leche League founders. Gotta give it to Good Parenting literature.

 

Marion Zimmer Bradley wrote some amazing fiction. Dorothy Parker is quite possibly the BEST, most sarcastic and witty poet ever but yet no one seems to have heard of her. For instance:

I always saw, I always said
If I were grown and free,
I'd have a gown of reddest red
As fine as you could see,

To wear out walking, sleek and slow,
Upon a Summer day,
And there'd be one to see me so
And flip the world away.

And he would be a gallant one,
With stars behind his eyes,
And hair like metal in the sun,
And lips too warm for lies.

I always saw us, gay and good,
High honored in the town.
Now I am grown to womanhood....
I have the silly gown.

 

That was pretty crap.

 

lol...
Maya Angelou,
Judy Blume,
Alice Walker-the colour purple.
Arundahti Roy-The god of small things
Charlotte Bronte

 

i never really liked toni morrison, her books are a little too crazy for me.

 

What about Sylvia Plath, Virgina Woolf, Dorothy Parker, Angela Carter, Joyce Carol Oates, and Anne Sexton... c'mon these are some of the best! =)
