Female Classic Authors
Are there any lesser known female authors of classics that you are fan of? What books have you read of theirs, or books that you've heard of but haven't read? Any recommendations?
I love to read classics written by women because I love seeing what society and female life was like years and years ago through the eyes of a woman, because no one can tell the story of a woman better than a woman herself.
I recommend Lady Audley's Secret, a sensational novel written by Mary Elizabeth Braddon. I know a bit about Braddon's life, and would encourage those interested in female classic writers to give her a quick google search.

I don't know if "Bridge to Terabithia" by Katherine Patterson is considered a classic or not, but if it isn't it definitely should.

You are certainly right that Bridge To Teribithia should be a classic. My girls both read that while in school and they loved it. My youngest hates to read, but she read it twice.

Louisa May Alcott is one of my favorite female authors of all times. Laura Ingalls Wilder, while I would not say is lesser-known, is another. I have recently discovered that I love Adrianna Trigianni as well as Karen Kingsbury.
