Notice Of Books 500 Great Books By Women

So many books, so little time.

Bauermeister is a college professor at the Univ of Washington/Seattle and is currently busy publishing novels. She is clearly an author who values women's contributions. In the mid 1990s however, she put together this collection of great books by women. It is well done. The only downside is that it is outdated already. Some of the books are by foreign female authors which means they are not widely available, and some of the books are quite old and thus not widely available. Would love to see

I've found a lot of good books here. And books that I normally wouldn't have picked up.

this book is exciting to me because it lists world literature written by women from the middle ages to 1990s. lots of new ( to me) & interesting authors & books.

A bit underwhelming really - here I was hoping for the definitive women's world litt, which granted may be a bit lofty for fairly slim paperback, but still... There is a lot of world litt to be found here written by women, but also just a lot of (more or less) American "ladies books" from the 80s. The years 1271-1979 take up two and a half page of the index by year, 1980-1993 makes up more than half - over three pages.The selection also seems semi-random: Not wanting to define the "Great books"

This book is an impressive compilation of books by writers of many nationalities spanning several centuries. The researchers who prepared the compilation also have diverse backgrounds and interests. Books are grouped in a variety of categories, including family life, relationships, violence, power and work. I was proud of myself when I came across

I thought it was appropriate during women's history month to bring to attention this reference book by Erica Bauermeister. Bauermeister has compiled what she thinks are the 500 most influential books written by women. I have made it a lifetime goal of mine to eventually read all 500 but I admit that it will be a challenge because these books are across all genres and do not include as many modern classics as I would have liked. That being said, this book is a wonderful edition to the library of
