Regarding writers and their protaginists:

I'm in my annual reread of _Atlas Shrugged_ by Ayn Rand.  Although she
does have a weird idea of what sex is all about (in this readers humble
opinion  -- no flames please!), she does seem to allow for her female
character (quoted at the end of this blurb) to develop fully.

Additionally you might want to read the science fiction series of books
by John Varley, titled _Titan_ , _Wizard_,& _Demon_  (three separate
books). Varley does allow for some lesbian encounter, if this bothers
you --- oh well!
