Female Faces Turned Away (42 books)

You've seen these covers. A woman or girl has turned her head to look off into the distance. Additions to this list should show the woman's or girl's face turned from the viewer so no (or very close to no) facial features are visible. Please don't post photos of the entire back of the head. There's a separate list for those. See below.

NOTE: Before adding to this list, consider whether your choice may be a better fit on one of these lists:

Braids from the Back

With Their Backs to the Reader

Headless and Almost-Headless Women
