PixThis book by Elizabeth Gaskell is strongly reminiscent of both Alcott and Austen in terms of its romance and its strong female lead, requiring to make tough decisions based on her beliefs. It explores class differences and industrialisation too.

PixThis Victorian literature masterpiece by George Eliot embodies the characteristics of feminism, societal redemption, and romance. It depicts a strong, ambitious female lead like the works of Alcott and Austen.
