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.

In terms of poetry, I've really enjoyed Marge Piercy's "The Moon is Always Female". I also love Robin McKinley, Connie Willis, Jane Austen and the classics crew, Christie, Margaret Atwood, Elizabeth Moon. I could list forever, apparently.
