Literary novels written by female authors received lower scores for literary quality than those written by male authors. In this chapter, the literary novels written by women are analysed, starting with translations and then followed by Dutch originals. Cluster analysis using Burrows’ Delta, principal components analysis (PCA), and keyword analysis are applied to explore differences in word usage and word frequencies between highly rated and lowly rated novels in order to find out whether these may explain the ratings. Among the translations, Emma Donoghue’s Room and Elizabeth Gilbert’s Eat, Pray, Love receive special attention. Works by Dutch authors Margriet de Moor, Marente de Moor, Naima El-Bezaz, and Renate Dorrestein are described in more detail.
