The two other classic books by female authors that I have read recently are The Well of Loneliness by Radclyffe Hall, which is great if you like either queer history or very sad books,

and Two Friends and Other 19th-century American Lesbian Stories by American Women Writers, edited by Susan Koppelman. That one is obviously not a novel, but a short story collection. Great for queer history and for discovering new authors. I have discovered Mary E. Wilkins Freeman's ghost stories that way. I've only listened to some that happened be on LibriVox, but that woman wrote really good ghost stories.

Modern books... I have a bunch of indie titles that I really liked. For some reason, the two that come to my mind at the moment are Black Sails to Sunward by Sheila Jenné, which to be fair is science fiction rather than fantasy, but has a culture inspired by the 18th century. It is the first book in a series, but you can read it in isolation.
