Tamora Pierce, Robin McKinley, Patricia McKillip, Scott Westerfeld, Holly Black, Charles de Lint, Sarah Beth Durst, Lee and Miller, P.C. Hodgell, Diane Duane, Tanya Huff, Suzette Haden Elgin, Diana Wynne Jones, Lois McMaster Bujold, Tanith Lee, Nina Kiriki Hoffman, Sherri Tepper, and Justine Larbalestier, to name a few of the better-represented authors. (I do still have some Brust, actually. Hmmm. That's probably shameful after the above declaration and I should decide what to do about it.)

(I actually don't own any Delaney, Butler, or Tiptree. This is partly because my theory of book collecting at the moment is "if I can get it any time from any library, I shouldn't own a copy unless paying for it with my own money and having it on my own bookshelf, taking up space in my tiny tiny apartment, is emotionally important to me and will improve my baseline happiness".)
