OK, maybe I'm in the minority there...
I am very glad that I fell in love with 19th century literature through Hardy and similar authors, long before I touched Dickens. Although 'Hard Times' has a wonderful bit in which he completely rips apart divorce laws in Britain at the time, by pointing out the social class-based hypocrisy of it all. George Eliot was also made of WIN. In fact, many of the authors I find interesting from that century (Austen is still 1800s!) were either female or expressing the female viewpoint in an interesting, less male-orientated way. Hmm.
