Some books I would pick: Journal of a Solitude by May Sarton, The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood (obvious, but obvious for a reason), Where Are You Going? Where Have You Been? by Joyce Carol Oates (technically a short story but there's a lot there), The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton (because I love classics, and I think it's interesting in terms of how it examines a woman's position at a time when she was meant to "marry well"), The Color Purple by Alice Walker
