It's not that there aren't good women writers. It's just that this dude is putting shit in to fill up the fucking list.
>>9171333
What are you talking about, retard? Stein was great and she was a writer, but she wasn't a great writer by any measure.
>>9171338
1. I doubt you've read them all
2. I don't think taking the redpill and reading American Sniper is really gonna enlighten me.
>>9171347
What would your list look like? Who in this list is shit?
>>9171352
Realize that women belong in the kitchen and giving them the vote has ruined the West
ITT
Bunch of babies who have only read Stein on this list and found her too hard
>no George Eliot
Kill yourself
Are women actually good at anything other than
a.) busywork
b.) high-achievement busywork
c.) autistic fields, rarely

Who care's about the author? I just wanna read good stuff. I'm tired of identity politics infiltrating everything.

>>9171337
>Yourcenar
Indeed, how is it possible for OP to list Margaret Atwood, among others, and not Yourcenar
>you will literally lose nothing by skipping all literature by women
really makes you think
>No McCullers
gill urself
>>9171300
There are so many great male writers that you don't ever have to read women once you get out of academia. And it's not like we owe women writers anything.
>no Evelyn Waugh
come on OP
>>9171374
>George
That's a dude, bro.
>>9171729
>no Evelyn Waugh

What a great argument.
I'm going to rethink nothing because of it, but I bet you feel really good.
And that's the whole point of identity politics in the first place isn't it?
>>9171751
Holy shit, we've just found his sister

What a great argument.

And that's the whole point of the red pill in the first place isn't it?
>finish a book
>"wow that was a great book, my new favorite"
>look up author
>it's a woman
>throw book into the garbage
>down vote every thread about it
>write negative reviews of it on every site with multiple accounts
Why is everybody giving their opinion when you haven't read more than 3 or 4 of the women in that list?
>>9171920
>you haven't read more than 3 or 4 of the women in that list
Are you ok, anon?
>>9171931
I have read 8 of them. And why the fuck isn't Barbara Tuchman there?
>>9171937
Shut the fuck up pretentious piece of shit
>>9171902
>finish a book
>"wow that was a great book, my new favorite"
>look up author
>it's a woman
That just means you are unironically stupid.

Maybe i'll do a post about this later but i'm going to say an abstract in here.
There's in Spain an actual tendency to "visibilise" the females work on literature..
This break my balls sometimes, because literary, everytime i open twitter there's the "feminist post" about females characters, the "toxic stereotypes with the girls and the invisibilizing in women on fantasy and science fiction fields for publishing books and for the people to read it and not judge for the sex of the author, even when in the past this occured often i don't think is the actual tendency and there's more space in present for women fiction.
This is out of control, every girl or woman who find that interesting ends like a feminist or a radical feminist, and they all actual believe in the patriarchy thing..
This is in Spain, what's in your countries, anons?
>>9171300
Here's a list of great men writers:
Dante
Virgil
Shakespeare
Cervantes
...
Your list is longer. You won. :)
>>9171374
Came to post this verbatim.
>>9171378
yeah what a fucking faggot that anon is
everybody knows that you're supposed to live for the approval of college students rather than for the approval of your relatives lol
>>9171937
>>9171300
I recognize 6 of these names and have read maybe 4
>>9171300
Half of those are shit, and about a third are god-tier. Can you really not tell the difference between a shit woman and a good one?
Where's Rupi?Is Rupi still a meme here?
>>9171300
Great list. Some of these I haven't read yet.
>>9172716
How about living for the approval of yourself, you childish fuck? Oh, wait, that won't work because you're too lazy to take any train of thought past the "Muh muh muh body looks like" station.
>>9171300
Nice list OP. Does /lit/ have a chart for women writers? Someone (you?) should make one. Fairly minimal discussion of books written by women besides Woolf. Wouldn't hurt to see a little more non fiction as well (props for Sontag though).
>>9171300
I want to believe, link to their tumblr please
>>9171634
Did you happen to take the picture of the chubby girl reading Nietzsche by any chance?
Just a hunch.
>>9171300
No Brontë? Are you even trying?
>>9171634
sexy feet
>uses 'woman' as an adjective
opinion discarded
is she the queen of /lit/, lads?
>>9171300
I haven't read them all but I can without a doubt in my mind say that Alice Walker, Susan Sontag, and Gertrude Stein are garbage.
Flannery O'Connor is worth reading though.
>>9171748
a little too obvious but still made me laugh. Thanks, bro.
>>9174563
I'm with you on Stein, but what do you dislike about Sontag? Haven't started on her yet, but I will guess that she is pretentious?
