I never read Nicole Krauss, but shouldn't she be on the list of female
writers?

excerpt:
In many interviews you've talked about your broad range of influences,
Rilke, Borges, Brodsky, etc. Are there any younger writers that you've
been impressed with or who may have even had an influence on your work?
I recently discovered a young German writer that I like a lot, Jenny
Erpenbeck. I liked Helen DeWitt's book, The Last Samurai, enormously.
There's Roberto Bolano, who died a few years ago at the youngish age of
fifty--he's had a strong influence on me during the last few years,
although like all great writers he is inimitable.
