The Tiptree Award is intended to reward those women and men who are bold enough to contemplate shifts and changes in gender roles, a fundamental aspect of any society.I'm reading
The Bone Palace right now and highly recommend it and the previous book,
The Drowning City.
Another book rec: It wasn't on the Tiptree list, but I got to read
The Dragon's Path by Daniel Abraham a while back and highly recommend it too. It's an epic fantasy with a great female character, and a lot of twists and turns in the plot you aren't expecting. It's the only epic fantasy I've read where banking is a major part part of the plot and is also a very tense and engrossing part of the story.
