Women have written some of the most influential novels in history, from Pride and Prejudice to Harry Potter. Yet men still dominate the literary world, with more than three-quarters of bestsellers and even reviews written by men, according to a 2010 study.
There are some amazing women authors on the Bucket List, but not as many as we’d like, so we want to shine a light on them.
In this collection, you can read some of the very best novels written by women, with stories of romance, war and family:
- Shirley, Charlotte Brontë (G)
- The Amateur Marriage, Anne Tyler (G)
- To The Lighthouse, Virginia Woolf (VG/S)
Read it and drink:
- Madame Bovatea – Unleash your naughty side with this passionfruit black tea.
- Charlotte Brontea – Just like Charlotte Brontë, the star anise goes by different names. Think of her when you’re enjoying this herbal tea.
- A Tale of Two Citeas – It’s so very London, this delightful Lady Grey. Sip it as you go on a European journey.
