Choosing this book was tough, because there were so many great science fiction novels written by women in the twentieth century and I want to tell you about all of them!
Brightness Falls From the Air is brilliant and will leave you in awe, written by an author who was not revealed to be a woman until many years after the publication of her books.

Alice B. Sheldon, who was winner of both the prestigious Hugo and Nebula Awards, wrote under the pen name, James Tiptree Jr., until her death.

From S.E.'s list on sci-fi/fantasy historically written by women.
