Though women have been contributing to the literary world for centuries, sometimes under male pseudonyms, recognition of their works has often been scarce. For instance, only 16 women have won the Nobel Prize for Literature, which has been awarded to must-read books every year since 1901. In recent times, luckily, things have started to shift.
