18th and 19th Century Woman Writers Challenge

After finding a link through another reading blog, I stumbled across this site and have decided to add to my increasing list of reading challenges for the year.

The two books I plan to read for this challenge are:
Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen
Cranford by Elizabeth Gaskell

Those are both great books! If you find that you like Gaskell you might also look into Ruth, which is of a more serious turn. Cranford is fun; it's sort of a village/drawing room love story, and rather uncharacteristic of Gaskell's work in that regard.I look forward to hearing about your experience of reading both of these novels.

I've read Mary Barton by Gaskell. I have an idea as to what sort of stuff she generally wrote about.
