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.

    Xenobiologist Kira Navárez in To Sleep In A Sea Of Stars might not win feminist awards, but I really liked her, the world building and the story. IIRC, it was relatively clean of overly sexist BS.

      I was going to suggest this book! It’s my favorite scifi book of all time, I genuinely love it.

      And if you go for the audiobook version, it’s narrated by Jennifer Hale! Who of course fucking nails it!

          I did! I loved them as a kid, that’s why I tried out To Sleep In A Sea Of Stars because I like Paolini
