Any woman whose favorite book was The Vicar of Wakefield would probably be a high-quality wife.

I do not understand how a woman liking some book qualifies her as wife material. It seems like poor way to choose ones own wife.

Pride and Prejudice. She fell in love with it as an adolescent attending an all-girls' school, but a close second is "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret." Shes says it helped her navigate a difficult time in her life when she was young and trying to find independence from her Presbyterian family. Of course, she also keeps the latest Gillian Flynn thriller on her nightstand.

I'm not well versed in what women read, but I have many women in my family so perhaps better than some here. I would venture this is a good, if incomplete, list.

The Ideal Ideal American Gentlewoman's Favorites (Incomplete):

>The Holy Bible; KJV, NASB, AMP, ESV, etc.,.
>Shakespeare; Hamlet
>Spencer; The Fairy Queen, L'Morte D'Arthur
>Milton; Paradise Lost
>Austen; Pride and Prejudice
>Dickenson; The Poems
>Alcott; Little Women
>Montgomery; Anne of Green Gables
>Browning, Elizabeth; The Poems

I'm at a loss for more modern novels, you will have to enlighten me.

We should ask the Duchess, or Katie the booktuber, lol.
