Offering a fresh perspective on women's fiction for a broad reading audience-fans as well as librarians-this book defines and maps the genre, and describes hundreds of relevant titles.

After a brief introductory history and a chapter that defines the characteristics of women's fiction, the author showcases annotations and suggestions of approximately 300 titles by more than 100 authors.
