I'm looking for books from HISTORICAL fiction or CONTEMPORARY fiction preferably, but not necessarily. I want to read about a strong, female protagonist, going against the odds, making headway in a male dominated industry, or anything similar.
Please recommend me suggestions based on the plot and if you liked it too. Sometimes, I love the characters but the plot feels too dragging. I just want best of both worlds. Thanks!!
Some of my favs are:
- Carrie Soto is back by TJR
- The woman by Kristen Hannah
- Listen for the lie by Amy Tintera
- Lessons in chemistry by Bonnie Garmus
- The Indigo girl
- The rose code
- The woman with the cure
- Frozen river

Oooh I loved Frozen River. If you liked The Women, I also recommend Nightingale and The Great Alone (my fave by her) by the same author- both books have strong female characters.
