Any books with actually interesting women character ?

Sooo, I love dystopias, even post-apocalyptic genre. I tried Metro 2033 since I loved the game but like many books I read : Where are the women ? Why are they so rare ? I'm reading another one at the moment ("Le dernier accord", a french book) and the only female character there is, only exists as a love interest for the protagonist and is described by her charm, her body.. I'm not looking for a feminist essay, but I just would love some realism and don't feel like the author fantasized on the character while writing his book. I dislike books with romance as the main focus, full fantasy worlds and stereotyped young-adult books.

Some books I I liked because I don't know how to precisely name what genres I like :

– Margaret Atwood books ("Oryx and Crake", "Handmaid's tales", "Alias Grace")

– "Flowers for Algernon" (Daniel Keyes)

– "Robot Dreams" (Isac Asimov)

– "The Ballroom" (Anna Hope)

I really struggle to find books on my own since I finished High School 5 years ago. I miss the woman that was in charge of the library and that would give me recommandations based on my tastes each time I came by.

I would love to hear your recommandations and thought. As a woman, it's so depressing to start liking a book only to be disgusted by how women are written.
