When a female writer publishes her first book, she probably does not consider herself as a woman writer, nor does she have a deliberate intention of writing works that can be in any way described as 'feminine.' However, the reception of her books from both the critics and the readers, and the reflection of herself offered by the mirror of the media, will soon make her realize that whatever her intentions, she is seen as a woman writer who writes women's literature. Is there any truth in this? What is the meaning that readers, media and critics give to those terms, and what is the meaning that women writers themselves can give to them?
