I know you specifically asked for fantasy, but you should look into David Weber's Honor Harrington series. The protagonist is a very strong female who has a lot of growth throughout the series. If you are looking for something epic in scope, it definitely has that. At the time I started it, I didn't read a lot of sci-fi or a lot of military fic, and this series really opened my eyes to the possibilities in both genres.Since I've mentioned Honorverse a few weeks ago on the previous page I have actually read the entire Honor Harrington series (which is 12 books, no less!), and have a few things to say.
The books are available for free online, so you can give the first one a try without a lot of commitment or even a trip to the library!
