Best Female Author?

Looks like someone missed out Virginia Woolf and Charlotte + Emily Brontë

Mary Shelley

The hell is Stephenie Meyer doing here?

Also, no love for Jodi Picoult?

I can honestly say I've never read any books or remember reading any books from these authors, with the exception of J.K. Rowling.

Suzanne Collins.

JK Rowling imo

Agatha Christie. NO contest.

Yes her books are the only ones I've bought that I've never felt disappointed by.

I'd say JK Rowling

I accidentally voted for Anne Rice because I didn't see Jane Austen there until it was too late.

George Eliot, all three Brontes and Mary Shelley are all better than the ones listed here (exception being Austen).

Mary Shelley and Flannery O'Connor

J.K Rowling.

Meyer doesn't deserve to be on this list. Not even close. What's next? E.L. James?

Harper Lee by golly! Atticcus and Scout for life, yo!

Agatha Christie.

The list is incomplete and some of these authors have such differents styles that it's impossible to say whose better.

And no comic books authors ?

• Marjane Satrapi - Persepolis
• Gail Simone
• Kelly Sue DeConnick

Nancy Farmer

Harper Lee. Go read your classics.

J.K. Rowling ahead of Agatha Christie AND Jane Austen? Not a lot of book readers here obviously.

Emily Bronte

Patricia Highsmith

• Their all marvelous...But JK Rowling is like my ideal.
• Also wheres Mary Shelley?..Shes such a brilliant writer...Easily on my top 20 favorite writers list.

Of the ones I've read, probably Emily Bronte.
