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.

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

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.
