Women's fiction is changing. "Chick-lit", a provocative tag, used to be about high heels, handbags and heartbreak - but not any more. Over recent years, women's fiction has seen a surge in psychological thrillers, blockbuster action and exotic time-slip. Cosy armchair romances, thanks to what I call the Great Vintage Revival, have found a new fan base, incorporating baking, teashops and beach houses. There is a whole host of women's literature, a huge variety with potential to appeal between ages and sexes. Why, then, are women writing for women seen as light, frothy or inconsequential?
