Works by Female Authors under review

While the website doesn't have a specific goal in mind in terms of male/female review percentages, the current percentage of female authors under review is deplorable (at the time of writing (November 2010), the ratio was around 8%), and I hope to correct the balance in due time. Though I already possess a number of excellent works of literature by female authors, please email me with any suggestions you would like to see reviewed.

There are currently 66 works by female authors under review. This represents 15% of the total reviews.
