A question of my own, at least partly serious: What is "women's fiction"? Can men read it? Can women read other fiction? Is there something about it that makes it gender-specific? Am I reading the wrong things? And what do the people read whose bodies or minds don't fit into either role? Give me a good explanation and I'll demonstrate the whole karma thing.  |
Worldwalker (love the name, by the way!), 'women's fiction' is merely a label. It offers the reader one more hint about what they're about to read...other hints include the cover art, title, black cover blurb, area the vendor has chosen to house the book, etc. Anyone can read women's fiction...well, there is a bit of sex in The Merry-Go-Round so the reader of my particular book should be 16 or above (hey, I'm a mom...had to put that in). If readers like books with strong female protagonists, then they'll enjoy women's fiction...men included. There IS men's fiction out there...Amazon classifies it a 'men's adventure fiction' and I enjoy reading it (and I don't have dangly bits on my body...well, at least not from the waist down
). Does this answer all your questions?
