Great SF/F Books by Female Authors: A Massive Twitter List! #sffbywomen

Earlier today, I posted seven sf/f books by women worth checking out for International Women's Day.  This led to a tweet asking folks online to list a single sf/f work by a woman that they think is exceptional.  Folks promptly ignored the "single" part and sent me a lot of suggestions.  You can add your own suggestions in the comments here or via the #sffbywomen tag on Twitter.

In any case, if you're looking for something new to read and care about gender parity, here's a massive list of great works of sf/f by women (note:  the list may be edited later; I may send the question to Facebook and Google+ to make things interesting).

Enjoy!

    How about "Secrets of Jin Shei" by ALma Alexander - reviewers even called it "feminist fantasy"? (Or her other stuff - she writes for both grown-up audiences (her latest is "Misngiht at Spanish Gardens" - Green Man Reviews just called it "an overlooked masterpiece") and YA readers (she has TWO new books coming out this year, one conclusion of a long-standing series just reissued in new editions, the Worldweavers books, and the other the first book in a brand new fantasy trilogy, a novel called "Random" coming out in May...)

    Keladry of Mindelan of Mindelan Quartet is from Tamora Pierce, not Robin McKinley - both authors are faves though! I'd also add Susan R. Matthews - Jurisdiction series :)
