What are the first ten names that come into your mind when someone mentions women's writers? I forget exactly what it's called. Someone once said the definition was that there was a shoe or a purse on the cover. They're popular stuff right now.
Who do you think of?
I'll post the first ten that pop into my head in a separate post so that I don't influence your associations.

Not all of mine will qualify, but I'll jump in anyway:
1. The author of the Bridget Jones diary
2. Toni Morrison (definitely doesn't qualify, but this is association, right?)
3. Jodi Picoult
4. Anita Diamant
5.
That's all I could come up with.

I think I just picked up a couple of these by somebody. She teaches women's literature so that should be a red flag. heh.
I would add Alice McDermott and Nuola O'fololo (What little I've read seems pretty girly too.)
There. That's all that's in my head.
