Altered Carbon
Altered Carbon
From Richard K. Morgan's Altered Carbon, an excellent book I read over the weekend:

She was beautiful in a sun, sea and sand sort of way, and the sports shorts and leotard she was wearing displayed the fact to maximal effect. Golden hair brushed her shoulders as she moved, and the shout gave away a glimpse of milk-white teeth. She wore sweat bands at forehead and wrists, and from the dew on her brow they were not for show. There was finely toned muscle in her legs, and a substantial biceps stood out when she lifted her arms. Exuberant breasts strained the fabric of the leotard.

There's not much more of that variety of descriptive text in the book, but aside from the male lead (Takeshi Kovacs), nearly every other formidable character is a woman.
