My Question of the Day

I have a question: Does the genre of Women’s Fiction exist anymore?

There was a time when it was a genre in the publishing world, but I recall it was a problem for bookstores to shelve. I believe the major debate was whether it should be shelved under General Fiction or Romance.  If anyone is mildly curious, I thought they belonged in General Fiction because the stories didn’t have the same romantic relationship focus with a happy, or at least hopeful, ending that is generally accepted in romance.

But now I don’t know if the Women’s Fiction genre exists on it’s own anymore, or it’s been absorbed into something else?

Does anyone know?

Okay that’s my question. In other news, my week has been set to cranky. Nothing is truly wrong, but a bunch of ant-sized irritations mixed with this heat have set the dial to cranky. Maybe today I’ll coax that setting into something more positive!
