All knowledge is contained in LJ

Okay. This is a favour for a friend who loves fantasy but has so far been restricted to the (limited) selection available in Irish bookshops. She's looking for fantasy novels with lesbian protagonists, or at least major actors.

My memory might be going, but the only author I could think of off the top of my head was Jane Fletcher. (My friend's into quest fantasy, traditional stuff, otherwise I would have pushed Blood and Iron and Whiskey and Water on her for sheer diversity of cast. May do that yet.) Mary Gentle's Ash has something close, S.M. Stirling's Across the Sea of Time is alternate history, and while I can think of a couple of SF novels that might fit the bill , I'm drawing a blank on the fantasy front.

(I can think of plenty of books with gay protags, but lesbians, not so much.)

So, guys. Who'm I missing?
