i have tried reading a few and just don't really enjoy them like i do with Koonz or King or someone.
i find their perspective to be very 'girly' and everything strikes me as coming from a feminine worldview.
i know the harry potter woman wrote some stuff people seem to enjoy but i never got into that.
and dont get me started on the 50 shades of repressed suburban moms crap.

Women can write just as well as men. But, we live in a man's world.

In HS I read the Handmaid's Tale and remember it being pretty good.
There's also To Kill a Mockingbird..

Frankenstein and To Kill a Mockingbird are two indisputable classics just off the top of my head. You're an idiot.

The answer you are looking for would be "Yes."

The Guinness Book of World Records lists Agatha Christie as the best-selling novelist of all time. Her novels have sold roughly 2 billion copies, and her estate claims that her works come third in the rankings of the world's most-widely published books, behind only Shakespeare's works and the Bible.

Oh, now you want to clarify and include 'good' in there huh?
FWIW, I really enjoyed Unbroken, written by a woman.

Those were the two books that popped into my head immediately. Also it's awesome whenever Harry Potter is dismissed because OP "didn't get into it."

Check out some of Tana French's work. I'm not a big mystery fan but her books are very well written.

A lot of women use a man's name or just initials so you've probably enjoyed books written by women and just didn't know it.
