Vote AGAINST AGAINST The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big Round Things by Carolyn Mackler. It gets some pimping because it has feminist trappings and a Printz Honor Award, but that book skeeved the hell out of me.
On the pro side, The Hero and the Crown and The Blue Sword by Robin McKinley, Graceling by Kristin Cashore, and the Flora Segunda books by Ysabeau S. Wilce regularly make me the happiest little feminist in teentown. For the non-fantasy set, some recent faves are The White Darkness by Geraldine McCaughrean and Dancing in Red Shoes Will Kill You by Dorian Cirrone.
