Origins of the term[edit]

"Chick" is American slang for a young woman, and "lit" is a shortened form of the word "literature". Chick lit scholars note that the term was first used ironically in 1995 by Cris Mazza and Jeffrey DeShell as the title for their edited anthology Chick Lit: Postfeminist Fiction, which contains 22 short fiction pieces in response to Mazza and DeShell's call for "postfeminist writing".[5] In the mid-1990s, the term was used by various media outlets to describe fiction written by women authors for women readers.
The term has been expanded to include female stories in historical fiction, otherwise known as "chick lit in corsets."[6] In addition, "chick lit jr."[7] is chick lit for younger readers, combining elements of the genre with coming-of-age tales.
