I love Parable of the Sower & Talents by Octavia Butler and Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens. These eco earth novels with strong women leads. I’m a woman farmer myself and an artist so I really connect to these novels personally. I can’t keep re-reading them so I need more suggestions please!!! I am open to fantasy but, I have noticed, when things get too fantastical I start to zone out (ie the court of thorns and roses series). I like practicality to be a part of stories, and the earth as well.
Open to non-woman led novels or other books that are non-fiction. Anything that you think would fit into this vibe!
Thank you!!!! ^.^

Psalm for the Wild Built – Becky Chambers
Remarkably Bright Creatures – Shelby Van Pelt
Migrations – Charlotte McConaghy
Remnant Population by Elizabeth Moon should be right up your alley.
Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer, perhaps
Maybe The Overstory by Richard Powers or Playground by the same author? It’s not exactly the same thing but I think they are adjacent enough to work!
*Prodigal Summer* by Barbara Kingsolver
I really enjoyed Miss Benson’s Beetle by Rachel Joyce.
Also The Girls in the Stilt House by Kelly Mustian
The Color of Distance by Amy Thomson is a good sci-fi novel where a woman lives with ecological aliens.
