Top 50 books by women

Add to my lists | Print this list

I was working on this list but it disappeared from the site. So I recreated it, but I don’t know any more about the list than you can see in the listsource: It’s top 50 books by women according to a British survey. Feel free to help with the description if you know what survey etc.

(There is 51 books on the list because of ties.)

This list used to be called — 1 year ago

Orange’s Top 50 Books Written by Women in English, so I don’t know if it had something to do with the Orange Prize.


Untitled — 1 year ago

Once again I have to thank you for putting in so much effort in recreating lists that suddenly disappeared!
