I’m looking for a fantasy book or series with a female lead which was written before this time. I will stretch it to my birth year of 1992. I’m just curious on books from this time period.
I’m told there wasn’t much around just one Tamara Pierce book called The Song of Lioness by Tamora Pierce.?
Is there anything else around? I would like it to be easy to read and not violent if possible, just lots of adventure. Set in pre 1900..

Look at authors like Mercedes Lackey, Andre Norton, Anne Rice, and other women authors of the time (WARNING in regards to Marion Zimmer Bradley: she did some very bad things to her child. You may not want to read her. I enjoyed her books before it all came out and it honestly makes me ill).
Anyway, they do often have male protagonists (i.e. Anne Rice and Lestat), but they have a fare number of protagonists who are women as well.
For example, Anne Rice's Mayfare Witches series.
