Summary: 

Joanna Russ's THE FEMALE MAN is a classic and not badly written either.
Elgin's NATIVE TONGUE and OZARK TRILOGY
MZBradley's more recent Darkover books, starting with THE SHATTERED CHAIN.

These are all comparatively strident.  If you're willing to settle merely
for egalitarian books with strong, independent women, you'll probably get
better science fiction/fantasy. Like Brust's JHEREG and YENDI, LeGuin's
Wizard of Earthsea series, book two or LEFT HAND OF DARKNESS, or McKillip's
Riddle of Stars trilogy or FORGOTTEN BEASTS OF ELD.

Luck,
