Strong Female Characters (lemmy.world)

Can anyone recommend some SciFi books with well written female characters?

I've recently read Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie and am looking for well constructed, non male, well thought out characters.

Try out the Wayfarer's series! Becky Chambers is amazing. Her books are wholesome and character focused, and give you a great feel of what it would be like living in that setting.

I also really like Brandon Sanderson's Cytoverse. It's a fantastic adventure that will keep surpsing you, but it is YA, so be ready for a little silliness.

Yay!!! I’m so happy I’m not the first to mention Becky Chambers.

Octavia E. Butler is right up there too if OP has never read their stuff.
