Holly Black's White Cat doesn't have a female narrator, but the women are as unreliable as the men.
OH--Sean Stewart's MOCKINGBIRD! (It's arguably subtle and not plot-changing, but still.)
I think of Liza in Bones as unreliable, but she's not lying, she's just wrong, which isn't the same. Ditto Tirnay in Secret of the Three Treasures, who reinterprets everything she sees through an adventurer's lens. I tend toward first person especially when a protag sees the world in an inaccurate sort of way.
