This challenge is for those who enjoy reading women's fiction. How might you define this type of book? I define it as any book that is mainly written and marketed for women (although that doesn't stop men reading them, they can and sometimes do), they may contain elements of romance but the book mainly centres around the development of women or a woman throughout the book. Women centered books, that might focus on the issues relating to women, it may be a mainstream novel, slightly less or slightly more. This website probably best describes what I am thinking of Women Fiction Writers.
It is distinct in that it is different from literature written by women. Women write many different genres and literary fiction plus non-fiction.
The Romance Writers of America organization defines women's fiction as, "a commercial novel about a woman on the brink of life change and personal growth. Her journey details emotional reflection and action that transforms her and her relationships with others."
Take whichever definition suits you - both of the above or write your own definition in your challenge post and then join in. There is a little controversy over women's fiction, but at present it is what it is, and its a a type of book I like to read. Let's celebrate Women's Fiction.
