This book has been my most reliable reference ever since it came out, leading me to good books that I wouldn't have otherwise known about. Titiles are organized according to large themes such as: ethics, art, family, wives and lovers, growing old. A paragraph or two gives information about the title.

What a fun read!!! i did not read this book straight thru. and i made a game to see how many of the 500 books i had read. my result was that i had read at least 1-2 books in each catagory.
the books that sounded good, i looked up and requested them. a fun way to look up books.

Women are strong writers. This book proves out the struggle and the talent of many women we have heard of and others we haven't.
