Like Judith, I can't use your path.  I second the Tiptree
nomination, and would like to add:

Jessica Amanda Salmonson: Editor of Amazons and Amazons II 
			  (feminist heroic fantasy)
Vonda N. McIntyre        Dreamsnake (Hugo winner) and others
Spider Robinson          Stardance (with Jeanne Robinson) and others
Elizabeth Lynn           The Sardonyx Net (her best in my opinion)
C. J. Cherryh            very prolific
Chelsea Quinn Yarbro     False Dawn (I like her sf much better than her fanatsy)
Kate Wilhelm             many books, excelent writer
Octavia Butler           Mind of my Mind, Clay's Ark, etc
Marta Randall
Jo Clayton               Alytis series (fantasy, ok, but not a favorite)

There are many more, and if you send me a uucp path, I can go
through my library in a detailed way.  I'm generally not willing to
sacrifice good writing for political correctness, so I haven't got
many of the feminist books that are out today.
