The only series I've read that's mentioned in this secret is the Wheel of Time. I absolutely recognize its flaws; Jordan had very strange notions about the differences between men and women, and apparently his wife shared them, given that she was his editor.

However, by the end of the series, the main female characters had blossomed into amazing people. In particular, I would like to put forth the example of Egwene, who became my favorite character and who kicked all kinds of motherfucking ass in the last three books (grant you, those were written by a different author. However, they were crafted after the notes and outlines that Jordan left behind). She knew that she was being manipulated, so she manipulated her manipulators right the fuck back, and transformed herself from a puppet to an actual authority through strength and cunning and sheer force of will. She stood firm for what she believed in; she spat in the eye of those who would hold her down and bested them. She saved the White Tower, and had she turned the tide of battle on the Fields of Merrilor. She alone elevates WoT, as far as I am concerned.

As for the other series...the one book of Eddings that I read did not catch my interest to where I felt like reading any of his other words, and while I've not read Goodkind, what I've heard about his works makes me want to keep far away. So, uh...yeah.
