Classics by Immortal Authors Loved by Girls and Women
Men and women often vary in their reading habits.
While on surface it often appears that a man and a woman like many things in common, which is indeed true to some extent, there are enough contradictions found to this belief if inspected from a depth.
Reading habits, and in particular selecting the authors, plays a crucial role in terms of the content the authors present.
More often than not, the degree of alignment of a writing with the psychological likes and dislikes of a person is the crux of an author being successful or not.
And the observation one would make at this point is that while many authors would be a success with people of both the genders, there are certain authors who are better accepted by one gender than the other.
Surprisingly and not too surprisingly, we find that girls and women often tend to read classic literature written by women more than they read literature written by men.
The reason has often been analyzed and never finalized.
But the general understanding is that literature written by women generally tend to view the world, the society, the economics, the values, the family matters and everything else more often from a female perspective rather than a male perspective.
This makes it easier for the female readers to associate themselves, their social lives and personal situations more to these writings than those written by males from a male perspective.
Hence, girls tend to read novels by Jane Austen or the Bronte sisters much more than they normally tend to read, lets say, Alexandre Dumas or Edgar Rice Burroughs.
While all the authors mentioned here are immortals by the greatness of their own skills of the art, but it is the other factors such as social, socio-economic, personal and psychological alignment that makes the difference.
This is not to say that men don't read novels or writings by women or women don't read those written by men, but just the degree to which a woman reader tends to read a book and come back is observed to be more with alignment of her "self" and emotions.
All said, which are the classic authors that women and girls tend to read more and tend to read yet again? Which are the ones that they tend to refer to other friends? Arguably following are the most-read five (5) women authors and their most-read works.
