I have a reason for this inquiry, which will be explained in the fullness of time!

I'm looking for suggestions of books with unreliable narrators where the narrator is female (besides Larbalestier's Liar, which I've already got in mind). I'd prefer speculative or historical fiction, but if you have a great example from another genre, by all means share it.

Secondarily, I'd love suggestions of books prominently featuring female liars (or con artists) regardless of whether they're unreliable narrators. Again, speculative or historical fiction preferred, but great examples from other genres would be useful too.

The books don't necessarily have to be good, for what it's worth.

(rachelmanija and sartorias and I tried to think of examples in the car, but with limited success.)

Better on liars and con-artists

Moll Flanders
Gone With The Wind (if you avoid the romance parts; what Scarlett really needed wasn't Rhett Butler; it was reliable contraception and a V-P position at Microsoft).
Vanity Fair

Also, much of Wilkie Collins, particularly Lydia Gwilt (Armadale)
