Familiar with r/fantasy? No? Well, that's ok--the thing can get more than a little muddled. But someone on there has been doing their homework, and I have to say, the results are quite impressive, giving us a whole database/spreadsheet of Female Fantasy Authors. Just found this the other day, and as an avid reader, the results made me downright giddy. The columns even offer other recommendations based on the style of the author in question.
Mine are Fantasy/ Fantasy Romance. Yes I agree Sci-fi was a male dominated genre. Incidently I have a male author friend who writes romance (from a male POV). He has experienced the prejudice from the other side.
