(I am posting this message on the discussion pages of several likely articles and lists; sorry for the cross-posting):
I'd like to invite anyone interested in women's writing to read and comment on a draft article, " Women's literature in English." It began in response to the recent removal of " Woman Writers" as a category. It's close to being finished, but a few more eyes would be really helpful. Thanks! scribblingwoman 16:02, 19 February 2007 (UTC)Reply
This article needs to be expanded – there are some very notable women missing. I am studying for a test right now and can’t take the time, but a partial list of missing authors follows. A few at the end are questionable as far as placement in feminist lit.
Abigail Adams (1st Lady w/ her Letters to Congress – Remember the Ladies is a notable one)
Erica Jong (feminist poems, novels, essays – famous for Fear of Flying, a woman’s quest for emotional and sexual fulfillment – writing was groundbreaking for it’s frank approach to women’s sexuality)
Alice Walker (The Color Purple)
Mary Wilkins Freeman (Inspiring portrayals of strong African American women)
Maya Angelou
Charlotte Perkins Gilman (The Yellow Wall Paper – Frequently paired w/ Chopin’s The Awakening)
Dorothy Parker (1920 icon for liberated women and celebrated humorist)
Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton (Confessional poets… Sexton won a Pulitzer)
Emily Dickenson
Edith Wharton (writings involving society censuring free expression and characters that are the victims of social conventions)

I think this article could be improved by a little paragraph on how the works are selected for the list. I'm not qualified to write that paragraph myself, though. Thoughts? Anjin\\talk 22:56, 27 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
I just wanted to say I agree with all of the above and can we please add Women Race and Class by Angela Davis (1981) Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.4.145.54 (talk) 23:40, 26 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
Some editor/s did a massive amount of work in converting the list from using links to Wikipedia articles to using external links; the Wikipedia links are gone. This does not seem as it should be (one problem being that external links on closely-related articles are likelier to be checked for validity by editors with more focused knowledge but maybe this list qualifies as closely enough related), but the editing of this list shows an enormous amount of work, so I don't want to just revert it (and maybe the opening text is an improvement (I haven't much checked but at a glance it may be)). Was this list conversion appropriate? Nick Levinson (talk) 19:39, 5 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
