British female writers

[Ya Sam]

Thanks for the information on Shirley Hazzard, Mike. As I get it she's 
Australian, although she is considered to be a British writer as well. The 
ever fluid identity! Anyway, to do justice to the female writers of Great 
Britain, especially considering the fact that I don't know all worth of 
attention, I would like to have a similar list with them as well. Below I 
will list the obvious names that come to my mind right now and I would be 
glad to get any opinion and contribution from the list.

A.S. Byatt, Angela Carter, Sarah Waters, Zadie Smith, Doris Lessing, Monica 
Ali, Beryl Bainbridge, Pat Barker, Ali Smith, A.L. Kennedy, Margaret 
Drabble, Shirley Hazzard.

To my mind A.S. Byatt is the most learned from this list and Angela Carter 
is the most bizzare.
