Women's Lit It Is!

Women's Literature is a bit of a nebulous genre, so let's define it as books written by women, about women, which is, admittedly, still pretty broad.  We've already received a bunch of suggestions (honestly, probably more than is reasonable given the number of voters), which are listed below, but if anyone has a suggestion they're just burning to share, email it to us by Thursday at 1:00pm.

Here are the books reccommended so far for this genre:
Animal Dreams by Barbara Kingsolver
The Diviners by Margaret Lawerance
The Help by Katherine Stockett
I Have a Bed Made of Buttermilk Pancakes by Jaclyn Moriarty
Minus Time by Catherine Bush
Only Human by Susie Boyt
Still Alice by Lisa Genov
The Whole World Over by Julia Glass


Also!  You'll notice that we've (finally!) got the book rec list up on the blog, but it's pretty sparse right now and it needs your additions!  Email us very brief descriptions of any books you'd like to recommend to the group and we'll post them.  Feel free to use books you've recommended for previous meetings, whether or not we ended up reading them.
