Give her the Bible and then kiss her and say that she convinced you God was a woman :-)

Emma might be good, although it might be dicey since, depending on the reader, she can come off as quite the cunt

I vote for Jane Eyre. Not only is it a great read that has one of the strongest female leads in all of literature, it's also written by a women, which your gf may appreciate.

Story of a Soul by St. Thérèse of Lisieux

100 points if you make her read Dworkin.

>>7465249
Huh, that should depend entirely on the guy who says it and how he says it.
Could be a really sympathetic, cute guy saying it in a somewhat jokish and cheerful way so you can both giggle over it and huggle.
Could be a tryhard stuck up on masculinity trying to be "romantic" and naturally coming off as a total creep.

This by far.

Madame Bovary and Jane Eyre are both choices you can't go wrong with.

If she doesn't like those then dump her.

Please get her Wittingstein's Mistress. It's my favorite book, and it has the most interesting female lead I've ever read.
