I also refuse to believe that Patricia McKillip has not done this trope at least once, but I can't keep her books distinct enough in my head to remember which or when!
The Sorceress and the Cygnet (1991) involves reshaping myth, although not solely by female characters. Alphabet of Thorn (2004) involves the decoding of a narrative written by a woman, although it is more of a warning, a record, and an invitation than it is a magical alteration. Would you count Lydea and Mag's collaboration in the climax of Ombria in Shadow (2002)?
