Well. It's a comic. Featuring talking animals. But it's epic! Majority female cast to boot (though not necessarily obvious). The omnibus collection of all volumes is a deal.

Written by a woman who worked with special needs kids. It impressed me and I think it's about an awesome woman, doing awesome things. And has an awesome message in part of it where she worked with troubled teen girls that I think fits with what you are asking here.

How about A Tale for the Time Being, by Ruth Ozeki? Female protagonist on all three levels of story, no romance or sex, and one of the three female protagonists is happily married but no sexytime.

Also, while I'm thinking of it, A Fine Balance has four protagonists in three separate but intertwining story lines. One is a woman doing awesome things and while there is a courtship, there is no romance in the way we normally market books.

There's one other tickling at the back of my brain and I wish I could come up with it. I may possibly be back.

The Westing Game (if having many, many protagonists, multiple of whom are awesome and female, counts)

I'm more than halfway through On Basilisk Station. So far, it's a pretty typical scifi space opera, except the main character, and plenty of minor Pandora Clear Pave Heart Dangle Charm characters, just happen to be female. No romance or sex yet.

Oh man, the BEST book about an awesome woman who did awesome stuff is Beryl Markham's West with the Night, which details her career as a bush pilot in 1920s East Africa and her goal of being the first person to cross the Atlantic east to west. It's my absolute favorite, I've read it tens of times, and I don't recall any sex or romance at all.

Garth Nix's Abhorsen trilogy (young adult fantasy) comes close. There may be some peripheral romance or hints at romance, can't remember for sure. If so, it's not central to the story. Good books, quite readable for adults.

I just finished reading The Rook after seeing it recommended in a number of AskMe threads. It's a fun supernatural mystery/thriller and fits your qualifications well.

Oh, I remember now, this is a fantastic one. American Fuji, by Sara Backer. It looks like chick lit, but it's not. It's a very thoughtful and lovely book about grief and loss and isolation, and what it takes to reach across the gulf to another person in friendship, not in romance. There are very funny moments and situations, and it's a quick read, but it has stayed with me for years, and I've given it as a gift many times.

mitschlag. They don't have to be single. I don't mind it being acknowledged that they're in a relationship just no romancey stuff. SO is part of the story = cool (here, babe, let me help you shine that McGuffin). SO and protagonist doing relationship stuff = not cool (here, babe, let me give you a sexy foot rub while you shine that McGuffin).
