I feel like your comment would be more useful if you were to raise your concern (which you did) and suggest some books written by women you think warrant inclusion on the list. Otherwise you're just complaining.
The Imperial Radch books are a great read as well. They take place in a future in which intelligent space ships are able to control thousands of human bodies connected (enslaved?) to them, experiencing everything these bodies experience at once - the action is great, but it also explores the philosophical implications of this, in a society in which a supreme leader thousands of years old rules over all these ships and all the planets where humans live. There is absolutely no privacy - space stations attached to each colony know everything any of their inhabitants are doing, feeling, even thinking.
Here's a recommendation for some female authored sci-fi at least:
The "Newsflesh Trilogy" by Mira Grant (Seanan McGuire). I'm not usually into zombie fiction, but this was a great series. Not your typical zombie fare... more like a political / conspiracy thriller where zombies are just part of the trappings of the story, not the focus of the story. Hard to explain, but worth reading.
As a counterpoint, I really disliked The Sparrow. I guess it could be interesting if you are religious, but even then: why do you have to experience horrible things on an alien planet to start wondering why god let's such things happen - aren't there enough horrible things happening on earth? Really didn't see the point... (Don't know Children of God).
