Books written by women about women
In honor of International Women’s Day here are books written by women, for women, about women. From rebellion to resilience, sisterhood to survival and family to friendships.
The list is a mix of books I’ve read and books that are on my TBR. I’ll be adding to the list as and when I read or find a book I think fits.

Swindon Book Club's Top 100
Inspired (or Incensed, you decide which) by the Guardian's Top 100 Novels of all Time, my bookclub decided to do our OWN top 100 list! Collected via a Google Form, each member submitted their top 10 books of all-time. We didn't limit to just fiction, and did accept entire series as "one book" — because honestly, picking is hard! As I can't order these by vote count, this is just all of them with no particular order whatsoever. Who knows, maybe we'll do this again sometime — enjoy!
