YET ANOTHER: The Stories of Ibis, another explicit Scheherezade-echo, in which a female-identified robot tells fictional stories to explain the truth about the robot revolution to a human male who refuses to hear actual the history in case it turns out to be part of a CUNNING BRAINWASHING PLOT. This is the frame device; some of the stories themselves also contain women changing the world with narrative, including a female fanfic writer who saves her troubled RP-buddy by writing him the right story.
And I can't believe I forgot The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya series (books and anime), in which Haruhi Suzumiya is the only one who is not aware that she has brought time travelers and robots and telepaths into existence by very firmly believing and explaining to everyone about how they have to exist. (Said time travelers and robots and telepaths, interested in studying the phenomenon, immediately vow to tell her nothing about it.)
Also, yet another, more sinister DWJ example: Time of the Ghost, in which the four sisters awaken the Morrigan by telling stories about her.
