Ursula Leguin, who I think might have been the first female sf/f author I ever read whose name made it clear she was female, is, of course, *legendary*.
Arkady Martine has done some truly impressive work, esp. _A Desolation Called Peace_.
There are also writers who don't specialize in sf/f, but who have written there:
Margaret Atwood's _Oryx and Crake_ stands out.
As does Mary Doria Russell's *stunning* _Sparrow_ duology. (Be prepared to feel sad.)

The list goes on and on and on: Charlie Jane Anders, Tamsyn Muir, Connie Willis, Mira Grant, Mary Robinette Kowal, Lois McMaster Bujold, Joan Vinge, Nancy Kress I am *certainly* forgetting many names I should not, but I am old and tired and working from memory. Women have written some of the best sf/f of all time.
