I remember liking The Crystal Cave, but (like the majority of those onthe list that I've read) haven't read it since high school.
As has been sussed out in comments elsewhere: Most/a lot of the SFF by women or about girls fell into the criteria of what the listmakers considered YA/kids, even if not all of what they write/wrote falls into that. There's a YA version coming out next year, but it seems to be considered a category for "lesser" works.
Doesn't address the lack of, say, Joanna Russ, Octavia Butler or Ellen Kushner.
