Subject: [CASL-L] female authors in curriculum

Good Morning,

I have and English Curriculum question for HS LMSs:

How many required books do you have in your Gr. 9-12 English Curriculum written by female authors?

I have a student researching women authors in our curriculum because they've noticed that many of the required reading books have been written by male authors:

Steinbeck

Salinger

Fitzgerald

etc. 

If you could forward any "women authors' that your school includes in required readings and the grade in which it is read, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

--
