Looking for a historical fiction book with strong female characters.

I just finished The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon and was captivated by the 18th century, the midwifery aspect, and the biographical fiction element to it. I am now looking for a new book to read. I love Kristin Hannah (The Nightingale, The Great Alone, The Four Winds were my favorites. I liked The Women but the others were better for me), and find that I gravitate towards books in which the setting is like a character in the story.

Overall, I want a book that is historical fiction (or biographical fiction) that is set between 1700-1980, has a strong female character, and the setting is interwoven deeply within the story. I prefer when the problem of the story goes hand-in-hand with the era. I do enjoy war books in which female characters are critical. I also like to learn something about the era as I’m reading.

Already checking out Lady Tan’s Circle of Women but would love more recommendations and a list I can come back to. Thank you!
