On the fiction side, I read a lot of Anne McCaffrey (Dragonriders of Pern) and thought most of it was very good - probably undderated. I also like Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.

On the non-fiction side, Annie Jacobsen's book are extremely well-written, even if some of the topics are a little sensationalized.

Finally, Barbara Tuchman's The Guns of August is one of the best books, on any topic, in any genre, ever.

Her Distant Mirror is a fantastic history.

I read a lot of her stuff many decades ago. Better than average for science fiction. The female sci-fi/fantasy writer I really liked was Ursula LeGuin. I've been going through several of her books recently and she is about as good as anybody I can think of, in sci-fi or anything else.

Agreed.

All that said, when Audible.com has their daily deal it's almost always a female writer, and by now I dismiss it without giving it serious consideration.
