Ok, so I'm doing an essay for my English class, analyzing any user review on Amazon.com posted under the category "Women's Literature". I didn't find out until today that I actually have to READ that novel. The essay is due in a few days, so I need a short novel to read, and preferably one that is fairly well-known (there will be more reviews for it, I'd assume).
Any help would be more than appreciated!

Most of Virginia Woolf's books are fairly short.
There's also one called "The Awakening" by Kate Chopin, which is quite short. It pops up very frequently in literature classes, and I am sure you can find reviews about it on Amazon.
I will come back and post more titles if I think of any others.
Good luck with your project!

Edith Wharton
Kate Chopin-try Desiree's Baby short story
Virginia Woolf has short novels but I find her difficult to read
Jane Austen-her novel Persuasion is her shortest-Emma is the basis of the movie Clueless
Zora Neale Hurston-Their Eyes were Watching God, Mules and Men...
Zitkala Sa-Native American woman
**Sandra Cisneros-The House on Mango Street** (very short)

I'de say for the main suitable character the call Annie (to no longer far from annabelle). Olivia could desire to be her state-of-the-artwork older sister, and he or she would be ready to have an exquisite little sister named Lilly or Lizzie. For the parents, the names Roger and Eliza are sturdy, in view that they're older names the gay chum (lol, i like Glee) could be noted as Nicky or Nick, short for Nicholas. the main suitable warm guy's call is Scott or Sam, and a few random female names u asked for: Heather Ruby Lila Random Boy Names: Josh Adam Damian wish i helped and robust luck:D

The Awakening by Kate Chopin is a short novel. It's a classic, considered one of the first feminist novels. It's pretty easy to read and the plot's easy to follow, so you should be good there. Most libraries would have it, too, so you wouldn't have to go out and buy it. Good luck!

"Little Women" by Mary Louise Alcott
Anything by Iris Murdoch
"To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee
Anais Nin - very feminine
Hope it'll help
Virginia Woolf is also fantastic
Also Bronte sisters, George Elliot, Jane Ostin,

I would suggest Kate Chopin's "The Awakening". It surely is well-known, as it was banned from the libraries when it was first published. Kate Chopin was one of the first feminist writers. You might want to look into this.

I would try fairly short stuff by Virginia Woolf--To The Lighthouse or Mrs Dalloway. Good luck!

Try The Bell Jar, by Sylvia Plath...
Its a fast read. and, I'd guess about 250 pages... Depending on which edition you buy.

A sample from Kate Chopin, The Awakening:
Perhaps it is better to wake up after all, even to suffer, rather
than to remain a dupe to illusions all one's life. (120)
