I read a shit ton of 90s and early 2000s YA books. they were skewed towards women authors even back then so I read about a lot of female main characters. here are the best starting with pic related. it's a really awesome magic system if nothing else.

>So you want to be a Wizard by Diane Duane
>"The Old Kingdom/Abhorsen trilogy" by Garth Nix

and finally I'd recommend Tamora Pierce who has written like 10+ series about women knights and mages in her fantasy world. they're quite good, at least they were when I was 13 years old, very well developed fantasy world with lots of believable scenarios. The first series with Alanna called "Song of The Lioness" is great and important to understand the setting. And after that the Wild Magic series is my favorite and came out right after Alanna and features a girl Nature magician who ends up solving politics by talking to animals. The "Paige" series is good, it's about a girl pretending to be a man and becoming a knight, eventually she reveals who she is and becomes the second female knight after Alanna (from the first series). There is also the "Terrier" series which is about a lady cop in this fantasy world. all these books feature very good romance plots as well. Also the new "Circle of Magic" series doesn't seem as Kino as the ones I mentioned
