I need some ideas, and everyone here is fresh out of
them. We have some authors scheduled to speak on a
panel in March, and they all write "Women's Fiction".
In fact, that's what one of the authors told me she
writes. These are not romances, but books featuring
women as the main characters.

We have some clever titles for other panels, such as
Blood, Sweat and Fears for a panel with mysteries and
suspense. Anyone have a good idea for a panel for
Women's Fiction? Thanks!

Are we looking for titles for the PANEL discussion or
titles of books to be discussed?

Lesa -

Why not use the title of the new Mel Gibson movie as a jumping off point:

"What Women Want: Women's Fiction Writers Tell All!"

You can't copyright a title, as far as I know.

Hope this helps - or gets some ideas going.

How about "Kitchens and Computers: The Worlds of Women's Fiction" or some
other way of saying that a lot of women's fiction is about the roles we
select for ourselves and/or are forced on us.

Thanks everyone, but I am looking for suggestions for
the panel title - not for books that are women's
fiction. Titles such as "Angst and Oprah" - I liked
it, but I don't think that's it!

I'm going with Binnie's suggestion of What Women Want
with the subtitle. Very ironic. There are four
authors she represents speaking at our festival.

Thanks everyone! Thanks Binnie!

My first thought was something like "XX Marks the Spot" -- referring to
chromosome symbols. My second thought was that everyone seeing that
would instead assume the XX referred to "double-X rated." My third
thought was thus that my first thought wasn't a very good idea, but FWIW--
