I'm participating in a reading challenge that consists of reading a book (or, more broadly, a text) written by a woman from each country.

What book written by a woman from the United States of America would you recommend? I'd like a fiction or non-fiction book with literary quality that, in some way, is representative of American history and culture (even if limited to the author's time and social condition).

I was thinking of "Beloved" by Toni Morrison, "Uncle Tom's Cabin" by Harriet Beecher Stowe, or "O Pioneers!" by Willa Cather. Any other suggestions?

I'm not American, nor a native English speaker, so my perspectives on these subjects are "foreign."

Thank you in advance.
