Female Science Fiction Authors
Who are the up and coming female science fiction, not fantasy, authors?
I grew up with Anne McCaffery, Andre Norton and Marion Zimmer Bradley and moved on to C.J. Cherryh, Lois McMaster Bujold and Connie Willis.
I read them because they wrote science fiction because back then that was what sold but they have gotten older or moved into the fantasy field because that is where the market is now so I read them less.
I have yet to find new female authors to replace them in the subgenres I like to read.
These are space opera like the Miles Vorkosigan books or adventures like "Space Odyssey" by Bradley, cyberpunk, alternate history like Andre Norton's crosstime books.

Jo Walton's Farthing is a good alternative history novel. Hey, it's not fantasy!
