What is women's fiction?
Women’s fiction is a genre that centers on a character’s emotional journey—the inner growth that drives the story. These novels span every setting and subgenre, from contemporary realism and historical narratives to mystery, speculative, or even science fiction, united by a focus on transformation and human connection.
