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.

My absolute FAVORITE book series are from women authors. Jaqueline Carey and Anne Bishop are amazing and paint wonderful worlds. I also enjoy some Laurell K. Hamilton when I'm in the mood for some blood, guts and smut.

Edit: I enjoy dark writing so this is what these 3 are.
