  Women's Watershed Fiction 23 May 2005  
Last year Woman's Hour invited listeners to nominate the novel that had changed their view of being a woman

14,000 people voted for a “Women’s Watershed Fiction” title from the top 30. 

Today there’s a chance to hear again the programme announcing the top ten books chosen by listeners.

So will it be the sweeping romance of “Gone With the Wind” or the penetrating insight into a dry marriage in “Middlemarch” that was the winning watershed? 

Did the bleak depiction of how women could be treated in “The Handmaid’s Tale” or the bitter grief of “Beloved” tell you more about women’s lives?
