Some female writers you may like:
- Mary Gentle. 'Ash: a secret history' is one of the best books I've ever read. An alternate history novel about Burgundy and Cathargo, where 95% is historically correct, but the other 5% are based on a few 'what ifs'. The chronicles of Orthe are very good too.
- Cecilia Dart-Thornton. I thoroughly enjoyed her Bitterbynde trilogy. Fantasy mixed with a lot of mythology
- Ellen Kushner. I only know 'Thomas the rhymer', but I really like that book
- Mickey Zucker Reichert. The Renshai books and the nightfall books are very good reads.
- Marion Zimmer Bradley. I like the Avalon books the most, but the few Darkover books I've read were good too.
- Mercedes Lackey. I've read Brightly burning, and quite enjoyed it
- Anne McCaffrey. Not just the Pern books, but the Brain&Brawn series is really good too.
