While many can proudly claim that women are in a much better position in society than they were back in the 60s, arguably the truth is further from the surface. With more and more women shedding the meek stereotype associated to them and speaking up for a range of issues from\u00a0equal pay, representation and treatment to having rights to education or work opportunities, the time for women <\/a>to live the life they deserve is here.<\/p>

Whether it's the teenager and Noble Peace Prize winner, Malala Yousafzai<\/a> speaking up for female kids to receive education or Sheryl Sandberg (COO of Facebook) who highlights double standards in the workplace, there are no lack of powerful, empowering females that are challenging the male-centered view of things head on.<\/p>

In the literary world itself, women are making waves. So much so that there's now a call for publishers to go on a Year of Publishing Women in 2018, ensuring only female authors be published<\/a> in that period. So to kickstart that celebration for women writers, we've rounded up 10 brilliant minds who've put thoughts to paper in a noteworthy and inspiring manner.<\/p>

These are books that should be given a permanent spot on your\u00a0shelves.<\/p>
