Needed a companion list to Fantasy for Girls. Science Fiction featuring female main characters, intended to attract girls to the genre who might otherwise ignore it.

Perhaps The Spellsong Cycle by L.E. Modesitt?

OK, somebody already recommended I add that to the Fantasy for Girls list. Now, I haven't read it, so tell me which genre it would be.

From the 'old days' of sf there's PODKAYNE OF MARS and FRIDAY, two novels with female protagonists, by Robert A. Heinlein.
