The only ones I can think of are

Harper Lee - To Kill a Mocking Bird
Emily Bronte - Wuthering Heights
Margaret Mitchell (?) - Gone with the Wind

Any others?

I really love To Kill a Mockingbird.

according to a biog of Margaret Mitchell I once read, the reason why she didn't write anything subsequently was because she thought she had to answer all her fan letters herself and she got thousands and thousands for the rest of her life.
