Anything by Jane Austen, definitely.
"Fearless Girls, Wise Women, and Beloved Sisters: Heroines in Folktales from Around the World" ~it's a collection, like it says, of fairy tales and folktales from different cultures all over that are heroine-centric. In other words, the girls don't need anyone to rescue them from dragons, they can figure it out themselves, thanks very much!
"Daisy Faye and the Miracle Man" by Fannie Flagg. This book is hilarious, and is written in diary form by a girl growing up in the south in the fifties. Fannie Flagg also wrote "Fried Green Tomatoes . . ."
Cynthia Voigt has a great trilogy of loosely connected fantasy stories, beginning with 'Jackaroo' ~which is about a kind of girl robin hood.
And, I have to say it, if you haven't read the Harry Potter books, yet, I would recommend them. When I was in high school, I was really reluctant to give them a shot, but I had to read the first one for a competition I was involved in, and that had me hooked. There's so much depth in these books; J.K. Rowling very obviously draws a lot of inspiration from great writers like Tolkien and Shakespeare, and as you mature as a reader you can read their works as well to find all the similarities. Reading is such a wonderful thing, such a blessing that we often overlook, but I wish you joy and enlightenment on your journey!

You are very lucky because there are millions of great books and genderv really doesn't matter a great deal in the selection. Just a few:
The Pearl - Steinbeck
Great Expectations - Dickens
Gone With The Wind - Mitchell
Dubliners - James Joyce
For Whom The Bell Tolls - Hemmingway
Wuthering Heights - Bronte
The Hunchback of Notre Dame - Hugo

Kristin Lavransdatter by Sigrid Undset. It's a historical novel set in medieval Norway. It's in three parts, and the first book covers her girlhood up through her marriage. Excellent stuff, it won the Nobel Prize. Tina Nunnally's translation is a good choice.

if you could narrow down what genres you like, that would help, but here are some of my favorites (i'm not really into murders or mysteries or sci fi or anything like that)
love and other four letter words by carolyn mackler
carolina autumn by carol lynch williams
the perks of being a wallflower by stephen chbosky
guitar girl by sara manning
kissing vanessa by simon chesire
looking for alaska by john green
to kill a mocking bird by harper lee- a lot of teenagers think it's going to be boring but my friends and i still really liked it
born too short: the confessions of an eight grade basketcase by dan elish
watching alice- cant remeber who it's by
sloppy firsts by meghan mccaferty (there's second helpings and charming thirds [i think those are the right names] that come after sloppy firsts but i've never read those)
the sevens series by scott wallens

There are tons of great books out there, it would help if you could narrow this down - what kind of books interest you?
Try Sorcery and Cecelia by Patricia C Wrede and Carolyn Stevermer - it's got magic, mystery, fun and romance. Everyone I know who has read it has really loved it.
