This list was compiled from an extensive book list called 19th and 20th Century Fiction by Women Writers, which can be found here: http://www.madisonpubliclibrary.org/booklists/womensfiction.html.
It includes some of the most entertaining, influential novels of the past two centuries, all written by the girls we know and love. The link includes the list grouped by eras, and then divided alphabetically by author. It also offers a one-line description of each novel. Credit to Madison Public Library for compiling the list.
