女性文學/都會小說 (Chick Lit)，一般指從年輕女孩到少婦為對象的小說，故事的編排和羅曼史不一樣，不一定完全講述愛情生活，反而是活生生貼切生活，並讓現代女人有共鳴的情節。

在歐美已經自成一個市場，而且讀者群年年成長，近期在台灣暢銷的書有《慾望城市》、《BJ單身日記》、《購物狂的異想世界》、《穿著Prada的惡魔》等等。

目前是許多想成為作家的人，最喜歡也最容易進入的一個類型小說。作者以豐富的經驗，提供讀者們實用的建議，一步一步的方法，教我們如何創作女性小說，如何讓小說暢銷。 凱西．亞得利是知名都會文學出版社Red Dress Ink和Harlequin出版社的作家。她的作品有L.A. Woman和Couch World。她在美國作家會議或論壇中，常常演講如何成功地寫女性小說。
