@Adela, I'm glad someone finally recommended this one! I've been meaning to read it, but haven't gotten the chance yet.
"The Lilac Girls" by Martha Hall Kelly. Tough read, but really good.
It's already been said but The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy (and some parts of The Gentleman's Guide) is a great feminist book. Also basically any classic written by a female author, due to the time it was written it can seem un-feminist and submissive, but the female characters are actually pretty feminist in relation to setting. And Wilder Girls definitely.

The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy was good too, but it's a sequel.
