From BestFantasyBooks.com:

"Some women want different fantasy books then men. Now I know many women read the same fantasy as the boys and are fine with that, but for the women who want fantasy with strong female protagonists, fantasy that’s not all about some hunk who’s mission is to slay dark lords and sleep with as many women as possible while doing so, this list is for you."
