I have a bookshelf entitled "Strong Women" so this group seems perfect for me!
Under this heading, I would recommend:
Fair and Tender Ladies by Lee Smith
A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini
Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver
Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood by Rebecca Wells
Hannah Coulter by Wendell Berry
Ahab's Wife: or the Star-Gazer by Sena Jeter Naslund
On Agate Hill by Lee Smith
The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver
Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All by Alan Gurganus
I absolutely love most of these books!

The Bluest Eye also by Toni
The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
Here on Earth by Alice Hoffman
The Ice Queen by Alice HOffman
Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman
