Changing books is not useful. My instinct does say that banning some flags and bringing down some statues is correct. But books shouldn't even be rewritten by their authors, unless your name is Tolkien.
There are countless of instances of misogyny throughout Victorian novels. If these haven't been changed in PD (AFAIK), then I think the censoring publishers are at fault and have the wrong idea.
EDIT : Sorry for mentioning political stuff.
