Georgia's comments from the Building a SciFi/Fantasy Library group.

I'd love to hear your suggestions. Here's my list so far:

Octavia Butler
Marge Piercy (Woman on the Edge of Time)
Ursula Le Guin
Joanna Russ (Female Man)
Margaret Atwood
Nalo Hopkinson (Midnight Robber)
Madeleine L'Engle

I second the comic book "Fables".

If you like animal myths, "Buffalo Gals" by Ursula Le Guin and "Anansi Boys" by Neil Gaiman are both very good

"Stardust" by Neil Gaiman is also good. It's a fairytale, but it's not a re-telling of a specific fairytale.

Also, more on the young adult fiction side, I really enjoyed "The Rose and the Beast" by Francesca Lia Block.
