15 Wonderful Women in Fiction
To some wonderful women who have inspired me along the way...
Happy International Women’s Day!
Women Authors…
These ladies inspire me to keep writing and to keep worldbuilding and to keep supporting other women authors! They remind me how strong a woman’s voice is in fiction and how creative women across the world are.
J.R. Ward
About the only vampires I’ll read any more.
Jacqueline Carey
She has no competition when it comes to epic fantasy and lyrical prose.
Karen Marie Moning
Highlanders…need I say more? I could, but do I need to?
Anne Bishop
It’s been a while since I read the Black Jewels, but this is one that’s stuck with me over the years.
Margaret Atwood
Her messages within a simple story…
Paula Mclain
History from a woman’s point of view in a quite famous writer’s life.
Annabelle Lewis
Contemporary and fun! A new indie author doing everything right!
Catherynne M. Valente
Wildly imaginative and mind-blowing in the way she paints her worlds.
Maria V. Snyder
Everything fantasy needs to be.
Cassandra Clare
EDGY melting pot, fast-paced, and addictive.
Nnedi Okorafor
Liane Moriarty
Does anyone do friend and contemporary drama/suspense better?
Nawal El Saadawi
Just read my review: So very powerful. Recent.
Diana Gabaldon
Time travel + Romance + History. What’s not to love?
Deborah Harkness
Recent because of the series. I guess I lied about the vampires above, but I don’t consider her series to be about vampires. It’s more about witches. We need more witches in our lives, I think!
I could go on and on here. These ladies were the first fifteen that popped to mind. I’ve read most of them recently and their words stick with me. I’d like to shout out to other women in my professional life who have inspired me in other ways. The names wouldn’t be as well known as the ones above, but throughout my life, there have been so many strong women that I just need to say
