Thanks for mentioning her, I keep a list of female authors and was missing this one.

This brings the total to 166 female authors, assuming I did am not missing anyone.

Nocturnalux | 465 comments Afirma Pereira by Antonio Tabucchi. Long overdue and turns out, Tabucchi knew my grandfather and even directed him on amateur stage plays.

Dr. Sabrina Molden (joy76) | 10 comments I just started “Night and Day” by Virginia Woolf and love it, just reading the first few pages. I love her. Seriously. I read all of her diaries. Surprisingly though, she does not use stream of consciousness in this book.
