If you want to recommend others, just reply. We could all use a good list of women who've written sf/f on #internationalwomensday !
@GeePawHill I love Julie Czerneda's sci-fi books. I think my favorites are in her Species Imperative trilogy: https://bookshop.org/p/books/survival-species-imperative-1-julie-e-czerneda/36f8e644f506c6e2
Editing to add: She used to have an account on mastodon, but I haven't seen her be active here in ages.

@GeePawHill Martha Wells, for the Murderbot series. Megan Lindholm (better known as Robin Hobb), for Alien Earth - it's her only science fiction work, but it blew me away.
Of course, the first science fiction writer was Margaret Cavendish. The Blazing World is a very interesting read, although it's early long-form prose, so not as easy to read as Frankenstein, which so many people think was the first.
I'd also put Anne McCaffrey there, especially for The Ship Who Sang and Freedom's Landing.

@GeePawHill Thanks for the list (and thread)!
I would add JS Dewes: both her standalone “Rubicon” book and The Divide trilogy were enjoyable reads.

@GeePawHill Hugo, Nebula and Locus award winning Martha Wells, known for her scifi Murderbot series, has also published a number of fantasy books too. I recommend starting with the Witch King.

@GeePawHill This is a great list of women authors and a lot more in the replies! I’ve read many of their books, but see a few unfamiliar names. I’m here to add two that I didn’t see yet, then I’m bookmarking this thread to refer back to. Thank you for starting this!
Additional women sf/f authors: Kage Baker, Veronica Henry

I've read a lot of the authors you mention.
Anne McCaffrey introduced me to "good" dragons, and it took me decades to get over the awe of her and write dragon tales of my own.
I love Valdemar as a setting, and Black Gryphon is a masterpiece. (The other gryphon books less so.)
But can we look at contemporary authors, too?
I love Lindsay Buroker for her snark (and her dragons). She does great steampunk and urban fantasy.
Well... and I have a handful of books, too. Pretty please?

Oh! I still have a little bit of time in #Internationalwomensday, don't I? Some of the *great* sf/f writers are/were women.
I just spoke in another thread of CJ Cherryh's extraordinary skill at exposition in fiction.
But there are plenty more.
Andre Norton lit my youth, and is probably the oldest exemplar I know of.
Zilpha Keatley Snyder was there, too, with delightful tween-level fantasy, especially _Black and Blue Magic_.

@francina1909@mastodon.uno potresti essere diventata un profilo popolare? ogni tanto mastodon pubblica queste liste di popolarità cosa, a mio avviso, abbastanza discutibile

@codinghorror Can't you implement the same by implementing UBI and raising income tax at the same time?
