Adding Excavations to Libby. Glad I read about it here as based on the cover I probably wouldn’t have picked it up. (Almost avoided Lessons in Chemistry based on the cover. Glad I didn’t.) Fates & Furies is one of the only books by Groff I didn’t love, and I’ve been a fan since Monsters of Templeton. Book that comes to mind that I’d add is A Woman is No Man, although a heartbreaking look at the lack of power women have, especially in certain cultures. (I did not love her recent book, Evil Eye. Similar theme but not as well executed IMO.)
Great list! Megan Abbott always delivers. I haven’t read Excavations, but it sounds like a fun read.

Always appreciate a good list focused on fighting the patriarchy 🙌🏽
