You might be interested in some of the other groups with a “female” perspective already flourishing here at LT. Of course, I know you may have already checked them out and decided that you wanted a group with a different focus. But, I also know that it is really hard to find things with the way the group search works. So you may not have been able to find them when you performed your search in the step before creating a new group. What I have found that works best is: click the Groups tab, then go to the ~Complete groups list~ at the top right, then use your browser's ~find on this page~ function to search for a specific interest. Searching that way, using the search word "female" and "women" yielded quite a few other groups you may want to check out. I’ve listed a few here.
In general, the longer established groups have more members and more active talk, and the newer the group, the fewer members there are to talk amongst themselves. (Just a hint: people already talking about the same things in established groups very seldom leave them to go have duplicate conversations in a new group.) I hate to see a new member languishing with no one to talk with, when in reality, ~Groups~ is just brimming with folks in identical conversations. The current system just makes it so hard to find them. I have my fingers crossed for a future application to make that easier: group tags! Meantime, hope you enjoy LT!

"For people who make an effort to read books by and/or about women."
(Your group title would make a great topic in that group.)
