Strong Female Characters (lemmy.world)

Can anyone recommend some SciFi books with well written female characters?

I've recently read Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie and am looking for well constructed, non male, well thought out characters.

I see lots of good picks here, a few of my favourites books mentioned... I love The Expanse in particular, but "Pushing Ice" by Alastair Reynolds had a better focus on complex female characters.
