Thanks to everyone who replied to my original request
and suggested some new titles for my website. :^)

I recently had the following classic novels
recommended to me:

Charlotte Brontė: Villette, The Professor
Elizabeth Gaskell: Wives and Daughters
Charles Dickens: Martin Chuzzlewit, Barnaby Rudge
Kate Chopin: The Awakening
Fyodor Dostoevsky: The Brothers Karamazov
Thomas Hardy: Jude the Obscure, Tess of the
D'Urbervilles
Jane Austen: Emma, Pride and Prejudice, Sense and
Sensibility

I was wondering if you would mind giving me your
opinions of the main female characters in these books.
Did you see them as being average-sized or larger?
Were they portayed in a positive or negative light?

Thank you for any light you can shed on this matter.
:^)

~Jen
