Clearly my list is limited by what I have read. There will be some significant omissions, no doubt, simply because certain books haven’t found their way into my sphere. So taking that and subjectiveness into account:
Tricia Sullivan – Maul
Maxine McArthur – Time Future
Octavia Butler – Fledgling
Nancy Kress – Probability Moon
Karen Traviss – City of Pearl
Nalo Hopkinson – Brown Girl in the Ring (just outside the ten year mark, but I’m ignoring that)
Kathleen Ann Goonan – Queen City Jazz
Nicola Griffith – Ammonite ( replaced Bujold but should have been on here in the first place anyway)
Joan Slonczewski – Door Into Ocean
Mary Gentle – Ash: a secret history
Year of Our War – Steph Swainston
The sad thing is that publishers are not buying much SF currently, and I fear that our current crop of talented female SF writers will wither and die, or be waylaid. Truly, if I had the funds, I would start my own imprint.
And here is a name to watch out for:
Joanne Anderton – Debris (forthcoming from Angry Robot)
