The Doomsday Book by Connie Willis
Among Others by Jo Walton
Feed by Mira Grant
The Hunger Games!
The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms by N.K. Jemisin
Grass by Sheri S Tepper

- akkartik 12y agoSeveral people including myself mentioned Ursula Le Guin, who should be #1 on any list of women authors. Also, mentioning Mira Grant and Hunger Games on this thread strikes me as blasphemous.
