When it comes to literature, no-one's ever going to tell me Jane Austen isn't funnier than any of her contemporaries, and a better writer too: perhaps the best novelist in the English language. Though on the point of more modern women writers I do think J. K. Rowling could have done with a good editor from the fourth novel in her boarding school series/Mallory-Towers-with-magic onwards.
