Yes! Becky Chambers is a really interesting one. Her series Wayfarers is really different to most stuff I’ve read.

I also read Octavia E. Butler’s Kindred, which was amazing. Wholeheartedly recommend it.

It always strikes me how few female sci-fi and fantasy writers I’ve read. I’ve tried amending that mistake over the last couple of years but it’s not easy, especially when looking for books translated into more obscure languages.

A great story that illustrates this question really well. It is by Ursula K. Le Guin, written in 1973, if anyone is wondering.
