March is Women's History Month and at Penguin Blog (USA), we are celebrating by focusing on women writing about women. A recent count of women writers on the New York Times bestseller fiction lists yielded 14 hardcover titles and 17 paperback trade titles (and a lot of these books are historical fiction, so double points for women's history month!).

This month, why not honor women writers past and present, across genres and cultures with us? Let us know your favorite books by women authors in the comments area of this post.
