...forgot an author: Elizabeth Moon. From her days in the US military (can't recall if she was Army or Marines) to her books, she's fantastic. Writes gritty, realistic stories focusing on people with motive to adventure; often enough those adventures feature women as protagonists--most especially, _The Deed of Paksinarion_, a three-part tale available in three-in-one format or singly. Strongly recommended for her military science fiction as well.

Sun, April 15, 2007 - 2:12 PMI would like to add CJ Cherryh to the list as well.
She deals less with outright gender topics, but does have many strong female characters and a great deal of sociological insight.
Cyteen is fantastic, probably the most widely known of her works, too.
