Strong victorian era/industrial revolution female protagonist
I would love to find more novels that include topics such as female scientists, social progress, Industrial Revolution and its consequences, classes, religious/traditional beliefs x scientific rationalism, the influences of early feminism and the obstacles people had to face in the late 18th and early 19th century. I love experimental fiction and flawed characters with strong desires to live and learn. Romance is fine, doesn’t need to end well.
