What novel would you put forth in the stead of _A Wizard of Earthsea_?
Needs to be:
- not an LoTR rip-off/extruded fantasy product
- written by a woman
- has a non-white protagonist
- written by someone in the Western canon
- pre-dates the publication of Earthsea: 1968
to properly take its place in terms of significance/milestones.
Tastes differ, and it's fine if LeGuin isn't to your taste, but it's hard to dismiss _multiple_ Hugo and Locus and World Fantasy awards, as well as a Nebula.
