Solstice Wood, Patricia McKillip: the sewing and gossip circle stiches up the boundaries between our world and Farie, then the stories the Elf Queen slips out to them convince them to change how they defend the line. Actually, a whole ton of McKillip's stuff has storytelling as plot elements, though I won't swear that the majority are women.
Fushigi Yuugi, er, I forget who wrote it. An old shojo anime. The girls fall into a story, live it, change it/embody it, the readers interact with it.
House of Leaves? Admittedly, the only female storyteller voice is Poe's music. The story is such a gorgeous use of framing devices that you should read it if you haven't. Um, some time you're not going to need to sleep with the lights off any too soon.
