LIBRARIES are taking part in a project run by BBC Radio Four's Woman's Hour to find the ten novels that have changed the way women see themselves.
Readers are being urged to visit libraries across North Yorkshire and borrow books on the long-list, pick up a Women's Watershed fiction leaflet or nominate their own favourite.
Julie Blaisdale, the county council's assistant director of business and community services, has already made her selection, naming Ordinary Families by E. Arnot Robertson, as her favourite
County Councillor Carl Les, executive member for librar-ies, said the search was for fiction written by men or wo-men, based in this country or abroad.
He said users of libraries and information centres across the county were being encouraged to offer their suggestions to Woman's Hour
