List compiled by Dorothy Schramm
The following list is from my personal library
and some recommendations from friends.
It is not a complete list of angling books written by women, but
a good place to start.
The writing in some of these books drew out long-suppressed
emotion relative to the sport and I could not even continue reading.
I returned to the stories when my emotions stabilized. I plan to
own more and recommend them all.
