The Protector of the Small Quartet by Tamora Pierce. They are about a teenaged girl that is the first to try for knighthood. The books titles are First Test, Page, Squire, and Lady Knight.
Tamora Pierce specializes in fantasy books with female heroines, so most of her books are good.
Inkheart and Inkspell are also good. There are several main characters in this story, where there are an equal number of male and female characters. The author is Cornelia Funke.
I also like the Land of Elyon books by Patrick Carman, but these books are kind of preteen.
Any Deltora Quest books are good, (by Emily Rodda), but in these stories there are two heroes and one heroine. If you get these stories buy the special edition where there is a collection than more than one of her books, because the books by themselves are rather small.
The Harper Hall Trilogy, Dragonsong, Dragonsinger, and Dragondrums, by Anne McCaffery are also good. In the third book Dragondrums the main character is a boy, but the other two hold a female heroine named Menolly.
Definitely read Ella Enchanted and the Two Princesses of Bamarre by Gale Carson Levine
Lastly Margaret Peterson Haddix has many great books centered around female heroines, including Turnabout, The House on the Gulf, Escape from Memory, Takeoffs and Landings and Running Out of Time, along with my personal favorite Just Ella. Sometimes these books are in the children's sections, but they are really geared for teenagers.
Hopefully these books will be helpful.

I don't know any that involve heriones. But there are several by Jane Lindskold that have a heroine. In case you are wondering, a hero is a man and a heroine is a girl or woman. So you don't have to say a female heroine. That is an oxymoron and a redundant saying.

Hi there. I'm the author of a new medieval fantasy book that you might like. The title is THE BLACKGLOOM BOUNTY. It's 445 pages of action, adventure, magic, mystery and mayhem. If you like Conan, LOTR or Harry Potter type books, this may be one you'll enjoy. It has a strong female heroine, too. She's a sassy Irish lass with a very colorful vocabulary for medieval times. You'll like her, I'm sure.
Good luck, whatever you decide to read!

THE BLACKGLOOM BOUNTY (eBook and hard cover)
THE REGENTS OF RHUM (coming fall '07)
Major Media Reviews:
Publishers Weekly
STARRED Review. A fast pace, sly humor, amusing dialogue and a richly researched background lift Baxley's fantasy, the first of a new series set in medieval Britain. When Merlin's long-ago apprentice Kruzurk Makshare (aka the Boozer) receives a dreamlike visitation from the legendary mage, he learns he must destroy another former apprentice, the villainous Seed of Cerberus. To do so will require a visit to the demon-guarded Blackgloom Keep. Enter young Daynin McKinnon, who discovers a curious rune-covered headstone, which may be the fabled Blackgloom Bounty, and brings it to Kruz's attention. Kruz believes it will provide entry into the fortress, while Daynin hopes the sale of the stone will restore his family's fortunes. The colorful cast of good guys and ne'er-do-wells includes the Pictish ghost of Brude McAlpin liberated from his tomb, assorted pursuing Caledonians and a bemused Prior Bede, whose monastery serves as a hiding place for the Blackgloom Bounty. Suitable for fantasy enthusiasts of all ages.

Holly Lisle's fantasy works all have female heros--I especially like her Secret Texts trilogy: Diplomacy of Wolves, Vengeance of Dragons, and Courage of Falcons.
And Marion Zimmer Bradley's Mists of Avalon books definitely fit the bill--they're retellings of the King Arthur legends from a female standpoint.
I didn't particularly like it, but Caroline Stevermer's "A College of Magics" does have a female hero--it's set in Edwardian England, so it's got a cool historical fiction element to it, too. It wasn't my cup of tea, but a lot of other people seem to like it.

The Anita Blake series by Laurell K Hamilton. Her later stuff is more adult, but I started reading them from the YA section of the library and by the time she started realeasing the later ones, I was an adult anyways. They are really good. Try them and let me know what you think
Also Tamora Pierce almost always has heroines as her protagonists.
