But... the Lioness series is basically all about misogyny! Like, sure, the main character is fighting against stereotypes, but the entire world is against her. I took the OP's secret to mean that she would like to see some fantasy literature without baked-in systemic misogyny in the culture of the fantasy world.

Now, it's been a long time since I've read Tamora Pierce, so maybe I'm wrong. Can you point me towards some of her works which don't have the same social underpinnings of gender that our world has, please?

The circle of magic series is set in a world that's pretty darn gender equal. Its also really interesting and unusual in terms of the way magic works. Def recommend.

I love Tamora Pierce and the Circle series to bits, but I don't know if I'd call it high fantasy.

A lot of the newer stuff that plays with gender roles plays with other tropes too. I can see how OP might have trouble finding stuff that's to their taste if what they really like is full-on old fashioned high fantasy tropes minus gender shittiness.

That said, they should check out Diane Duane's Tale of Five books, starting with Door into Fire.

nayrt - I guess that's one way to interpret it, but that's not how I read it. I thought OP had a problem with works that were themselves misogynistic, not that they had a problem with works where misogyny was an issue that the characters had to deal with.
