One of the best is 'The Handmaid's Tale' by Margaret Atwood. It presents a dystopian world where women are severely oppressed, and through the eyes of the protagonist, it shows the fight for female agency. It makes readers think deeply about gender roles and feminism in a high - fantasy - like, yet all - too - real setting.
Ursula K. Le Guin's 'The Left Hand of Darkness' is also great. It explores gender in a very unique way. The characters in the novel live in a world where gender is fluid. This challenges the traditional binary view of gender in many fantasy novels and promotes feminist ideas by showing that gender is not a fixed and limiting concept.
Naomi Novik's 'Uprooted' can be considered as well. The main female character has her own growth and development arc. She is not just a damsel in distress but a strong - willed individual. She uses her intelligence and courage to face the challenges in the magical world, which embodies feminist ideals in the high fantasy genre.
