While one would think that worm riding chosen ones, planet hopping astronauts, or stargazing astronomers would be composed of all genders, much of the sci-fi canon is about a small subsection of the human genome: a bunch of guys. Looking for sci-fi novels with female protagonists that give the boys a run for their rocket fuel? While sci-fi books with female leads are as significant, and often unfortunately as rare as the next big deep space discovery, these 10 books orbit around women who are quasar bright, neutron star tough, and radiate with the glory of a thousand suns.
Gideon The Ninth
(Tor.com)Tamsyn Muir’s Gideon The Ninth is a necromantic space goth opera about lesbians and murder mysteries- what more could you need? Set in a Dune-like star system ruled by nine houses that compete for the favor of an immortal Emperor, the novel orbits around a wise-crackin’, sword-swinging, mystery solving warrior named Gideon. Gideon is indentured to the shadowy Ninth House, and serves its Hot Topic-stylish heir Harrowhark Nonagesimus, an equally tough cookie with a penchant for skeleton-making magic. While the two begin the novel hating one another’s guts, they grow together after being chosen to take part in a series of necromantic trials to ascend to undead godhood in the Emperor’s service. Nearly being murdered by gigantic flesh/bone constructs made by long dead space wizards really has a way of bringing two people together.
