[julieandrews]

Here's the final list as compiled by Naamen over on Feminist SF -- The Blog.

Bold means I've read it. Feel free to copy the list in the comment thread and bold the ones you've read.

11. God Stalk - P. C. Hodgell
10. A Door Into Ocean - Joan Slonczewski
9. Herland - Charlotte Perkins Gilman
8. Fire Logic - Laurie J. Marks
7. The Fox Woman - Kij Johnson
6. The Shadow Speaker - Nnedi Okorafor-Mbachu
5. Bone Dance - Emma Bull
4. Zahrah the Windseeker - Nnedi Okorafor-Mbachu
3. Swordspoint - Ellen Kushner
2. Midnight Robber - Nalo Hopkinson
1. Solstice - Ulises Silva

I'd heard of a couple of these before, and a couple others I'd heard of the author, but some are entirely new to me.

Not much pointing in bolding, since I've only read #3, but I do also own #7 and #11. Most of those are new to me.

I've read Bone Dance, Swordspoint, and The Fox Woman.

My library actually has a good number of these. Perhaps not as 'obscure' as I personally thought.
