I’ve read and enjoyed (in random order):
- Broken Earth and Inheritance series by N. K. Jemisin
- Locked Tomb series by Tamsyn Muir
- She Who Became the Sun by Shelley Parker-Chan
- The Space Between Worlds by Micaiah Johnson
- Teixcalaan series by Arkady Martine
- How High We Go In The Dark by Sequoia Nagamatsu
- Anything by Octavia Butler
Connie Willis is a SF author I love. Her short stories are very political in regards of gender and sexuality, then you have her long time-travel books and her short romantic-comedy novels.
Aliette de Bodard also has many nice stories (I have only read some of the Xuya ones)
