Oh! I still have a little bit of time in #Internationalwomensday, don't I? Some of the *great* sf/f writers are/were women.
I just spoke in another thread of CJ Cherryh's extraordinary skill at exposition in fiction.
But there are plenty more.
Andre Norton lit my youth, and is probably the oldest exemplar I know of.
Zilpha Keatley Snyder was there, too, with delightful tween-level fantasy, especially _Black and Blue Magic_.

Nora *fucking* Jemisin has won, so far, *three* Hugo Best Novel awards, two of them back to back, one for each book in the Broken Earth trilogy. Ann Leckie's creations are universally regarded as top-notch sf. Elizabeth Moon, with hard sf in usually military settings. Octavia Butler was basically a god. Martha Wells is big these days cuz of the MurderBot books, but her backlist is fantastic.
