Need book recommendations with female magical societies like Aes Sedai

[annazruf]

Just finished my second reading of Wheel of Time (first time was a decade ago) and am now needing recommendations for similar books series with powerful, female magical societies like Aes Sedai.

Thank you!

Well the Sword of Truth series basiclly ripped off the Aes Sedai.

...While I am still carrying a 24 year grudge with her, Melanie Rawn is a great example of 80s/90s female gaze pioneering new aspects of the fantasy world.  Her Dragon Prince/Dragon Star series are mostly equal, but strong females exist, thrive, and often rule in the stories.  And her Exiles series was based in a matriarchial society.  However, while book 1 was well celebrated, book 2 suffered from the fact she hasn't finished the series and probably never will.

 

But, if you like to torture yourself, give that a try.  ?

I enjoyed the Dragon Prince series. It was a pretty cool magic system. Some good political plotting/intrigue/betrayal story lines. 
 

It was a little heavy on the romance for my tastes and her characters were only okay. But the series is a good read.

Same here enjoyed the Dragon Prince trilogy but never started on the Dragon Star trilogy. I think its just i found other series better and i got into them more, Jordan, Feist, Eddings and Kerr kept me busy enough and i sort of forgot about Rawn
