How come there is not a single great female writer?

Juana Inés de la Cruz (1600s) and the Brontë sisters (1800s), Emily Dickinson (1800s).

Flannery O'Connor

Oh, sorry, misread your post. covers it well though. I would add Shelly and George Elliot too.

>Jane Austen
Are you serious?

Edith Wharton

[Obligatory Hildegarde post]
[Obligatory Sappho post]
[Optional Praxilla post since none of you are worthy of her meter]

Read Mansfield Park, pleb.

emily dickinson
brontë sisters
virginia woolf
george sand

Yes, are you? Have you read any of her books? Do you read critically or are you a teenager?

Agatha Christie's "and then there were none" is great.

>doesn’t realize George Eliot was a woman
>doesn’t think Frankenstein by Mary Shelley is important

I call it by its original title.

Lol I've been meaning to get my hands on one of the OG copies.

I don't think I've read a single fiction from the 1900s other Anne of Green Gables and an Alice Munro.
Flannery O'connor is on the backlog though

literally who?

>brontë sisters
Why talk about them as a group if only one produced a book that became famous?

Flannery is great.

"A Good Man is Hard to Find," "Good Country People," "The Artificial Nigger, "Everything that Rises Must Converge," and "The Life You Save May Be Your Own" are some of the best stories of the last hundred years.

dodging the question

>believing fame equals literary quality
You just outburger'd yourself.

>believing fame equals literary quality
Didn't say that. But there really hasn't been any female writer of importance for most of human history, and when they began to gain notoriety, they mostly produce trash.

There is. And you know it. You just want to say that there is not, to put women down as a revenge for not giving you any pussy. Or giving you the wrong color of pussy. So, your opinion about women, or the opinion of women of your kind is WORTHLESS. Stick that into your skull.

No further comments.

Fpbp

I don’t care who your favorite authors are, OP.

Jesus, don't you assclowns ever get tired of this idiocy? So now you're going to waste an hour dismissing every great female author anyone names because this "no true Scotsman" shit is the best you can come up with to amuse yourself?
Go read The Tale of Genji and smarten up.

My favorite writers are still men, but I do like Austen, Dickinson, Emily Brontë, Flannery O’Connor, George Eliot, Le Guin, Shirley Jackson, Eudora Welty, Patricia Highsmith, Betty Smith, Djuna Barnes, and Carson McCullers. Woolf is a common favorite but I never liked her.

where can i get more?

Because that's not even remotely accurate. Charlotte's Jane Eyre wasn't immediately successful but became incredibly popular and important, Emily's Wuthering Heights had mixed reviews but again, became a classic, and Anne's The Tenant of Wildfell Hall was very successful immediately and won later critical recognition. And that's not to mention Villette or Agnes Grey. Only Branwell didn't accomplish much in the way of published literature.

There were few exceptions to confirm the rule.

So next time you ask: Why vast majority of female writers suck so much, their characterizations are incomprehensible, the prose is god awful, the story development goes in circles of mild melodrama with no stakes or resolution?

Why that time frame OP? Perhaps because around 100 years ago women were enabled to act as political and economic equals to men?

Good list. Add Simone De Beauvoir; I don't entirely agree with her but her influence is undeniable.

What the fuck is that image supposed to mean? It's so crappy you can't tell. You're trying to invalidate my comment by PRETENDING that it is boring? Or that it is "crazy"? Which is basically a LIE. First you/OP LIE/S that there is no great women writers, then as someone points out your/his lie, you LIE a bit more, to invalidate the fact presented that you LIED. I fucking hate people like that. They should be gassed. Bullies are just the same. First they bully by presenting LIES, then as someone points that out, they LIE more, to invalidate their statement and to hide the truth about them lying. Filth like that does not have right to exist.

It's such a shitty image you can't tell if that figure is yawning or opening it's mouth in awe. Or maybe it's shouting.

I could give you a list of great female writers, but I do not bother. I generally do not bother to argue with LIARS. I hate liars. They're like IRRESPONSIBLE BRATS, corrupting and polluting the entire human civilization by telling LIES to get their personal will through. A bit like those priests in the Middle Ages who insisted that the Earth is flat.

They're just putting women down as a revenge for not getting (right kind of) pussy. Do not bother with them too much.

Homer was a Female

Ask me how do I know you've never read Middlemarch

Why no Beatrix Potter? She had a great vision.

I hate Americans, but you’re fucking retaded.

I maintain the Wuthering Heights is a timeless work of genius. Fight me.

>there are actually good female writers
>people feed op by citing trash like woolf
Expected but still.

underrated

Who is the Cicero of females?

embarrassing post

>Good Country People
That one fucked me up.

Little do you nards realize, OP is a tsundere. He secretly wanted to talk about female authors.

Would people care about their works if they weren't women? For the most part they wrote the same overly sentimental schlock that every other pulp writer did in their time.

Percy rewrote Frankenstein for her and made it not ass.

Famous doesn’t just = good bro

>There were few exceptions to confirm the rule.
Please never say this again, it's disgusting and wrong in every way for whatever you use it for.

Djuna Barnes
Marguerite Yourcenar
Gjertrud Schnackenberg
Marguerite of Navarre
Louise Labé
Ada Negri

In other words, OP, obtain intercourse.

Few outliers do confirm a general trend precisely because they're outliers and absent from overwhelming majority of the sampled variance. Or are you enraged with the cliched phrasing of that?

You should read Middlemarch. Even if you don't like it, if you really truly believe that it's poorly written you'll at least be able to confirm that reading just isn't for you.

Any outliers always reduces the probability a hypothesis is true. One does not necessarily have to throw out a hypothesis because of a few outliers though, but they are never good.

Also "exceptions to confirm the rule" does in no way imply what I said but rather "ah, you see this outlier? it proves I was right haha"

>"ah, you see this outlier? it proves I was right haha"
Anecdotes are incogruent with generality.

In variant distribution, there's outliers no matter what. The point of the phrase is to just politely convey "inb4 statistically insignificant anecdote".

>Anecdotes are incogruent with generality.
Yes, how is this relevant? I was showing the spirit of the saying.

>In variant distribution, there's outliers no matter what. The point of the phrase is to just politely convey "inb4 statistically insignificant anecdote".
No, that is not what it says, that is what you want it to say, but the words does not mean this nor is it used this way by the majority of people. Most people using it have no clue how statistics work and really believe an outlier can prove the rule. Repeating it because you think it has a deeper meaning is harmful.

>using it have no clue how statistics work
Why do they quote it whenever cherry-picked outlier is replied in lieu of an "argument" against an obvious generality?

That is not how it is generally used, and you should know this.
Maybe you are arguing to win, not for the truth.

Why would I fight a man who's based and absolutely right?

You're telling us there isn't a single person out there who considers a female writer great. Peak retardation.
