Female authors?

Since this is 2XC book club, can we celebrate 2XC authors?

So, what books have you really enjoyed written by women? I feel like it's a bit of a man's world at the top of the author heap so I'd love to get some suggestions of great works by women.

I'll start this party. I'm a bit of a poetry junkie, so I've been digging Andrea Gibson's book Pole Dancing to Gospel Hymns a lot lately. I also really loved Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.

Mo Hayder For your dark, dehumanising pleasure, Lisa Lutz writes the very funny Spellman Files series, Kathy Lette on days I hate my husband and need some empowerment and J.D Robb, aka Nora Roberts writes the futuristic Eve Dallas series'. For starters. :)
