A friend in the States sent me this when she knew I belonged to a reading group. I have dipped into it a few times but can't say I have used it regularly. A high preponderence of American authors.

Great reference. Found some interesting titles in this book and have read several of them.

This is a fine collection of recommendations of works by women authors. I truly enjoyed this. My only complaint would be that I have quite a few titles added to my wishlist! Now to track them all down...

This is a fantastic book that brings to my attention many, many works by women that I would never have learned of without them being reviewed in this book. Reviewed by respected women writers, the titles are organized under themes such as "Power," "Love," "Work," "Ethics," and so on.
