suggested move

I suggest the title be moved to "List of biographical dictionaries of female writers" ("female" is an adjective whereas "women" isn't). -- TyrS chatties 03:54, 18 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Light Oppose. Sorry, I'm against this because most of those biographies use the word Women, which I happen to find more elegant, for that matter. Even though you are right about the nature of those words and I think I spotted a (recent?) debate about this issue somewhere on Wp. Female is more usually adjective. However, to use 2 nouns in apposition is perfectly as acceptable from a syntactic point of view. Hope you’ll agree^[1].Greetings,--Lee P. (talk) 08:54, 14 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

note

^ See this advice on Dailywritingtips You’ll very easily find the opposite opinion, too, I believe, as well as the choice of the wording with Female on WP. This NYTimes article goes perhaps a bit further.

Why limited to writers in English?
