"I write this sitting in the kitchen sink." I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith.
This quote is from a book about a girl who lived in poverty in England. This story was so well written that in 2003 a movie was made for it.
"Come, children, let us shut up the box and the puppets, for our play is played out." Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray
This quote is from a book about manners and is a satirical novel. The two main characters are female and the setting is a time period where women are less valued than men.
I personally have not read either of these novels, but they are now on my to do list.
