The ever-busy Becky from Becky's Book Reviews is hosting this challenge, which will run from January 1 through December 31, 2009. Participants should read no fewer than four and no more than twelve books written by women who lived and wrote between 1700 and 1900.
What books don't count...if an author was born during this time period, but didn't publish anything until the next century. Post-1900 books are NOT allowed. There is a small loophole here. If a book was written during these two centuries 1700-1900 and was not published until after the author's death...and that publication date just happened to be in the 1900s or 2000s...then that would count.
Overlaps with other challenges are allowed.
I've picked five books for this one (years indicate when first published):
Cranford by Elizabeth Gaskell (1853) -- completed 6/7/09; review
Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelley (1818) -- completed 9/1/09; review

I'm so happy you've joined this challenge! I love the books on your list--no pressure though! Cranford and The Mill on the Floss are on my own list for this year--and the other three I've read and loved in the past.
