Idk if best of all time, but I don’t see enough women in SciFi so they stand out when I stumble across them.

Ann ~~Leslie~~, Octavia Butler, and Marta Wells come to mind.

EDIT: this should say Ann Leckie. Autocorrect, you have fouled my plans again! ヽ( `д´*)ノ

Leslie is amazing IMO.

I mean to right Ann Leckie! Autocorrect! Idk if Ann Leslie is a writer or not, but I’m so desperate for a new fix I’ll try!
