Gwyneth Jones’ list of the top ten SF books by women writers:

1. The Left Hand of Darkness, Ursula K. Le Guin
2. Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang, Kate Wilhelm
3. Up the Walls of the World, James Tiptree, Jr. (Alice Sheldon)
4. The Female Man, Joanna Russ
5. Cyteen, CJ Cherryh
6. Grass, Sheri Tepper
7. Synners, Pat Cadigan
8. Sarah Canary, Karen Joy Fowler
9. Light Music, Kathleen Ann Goonan
10. Natural History, Justina Robson

I’d gone with Gibbon’s Decline and Fall instead of Grass for the Tepper, because of the comedy.
