Nsibidi Scripts series (Akata Witch/Warrior/Woman) by Nnedi Okorafor (highly recommend)

Equal Rites by Terry Pratchett is about Esk who inherited a wizards staff even tho she's a girl. it's an odd one tho, ngl.

the ones below are teacher and apprentice stories rather than off to a school to learn with the masses.

Master of the Five Magics by Lyndon Hardy (is old so might be showing its age)

the Mancer books by Don Callander (Pyromancer, Aquamancer, Aeromancer, Geomancer, Marbleheart) might be hard to find but they were cute.

And the Tiffany Aching quintet by Terry Pratchett starting with the Wee Free Men, which has Tiffany being apprenticed with different witches after a big adventure to save her baby brother. (love these books)

The Enchanted Forest series by Patricia C Wrede

More adult-oriented stories;

The Fairy Godmother by Mercedes Lackey (500 kingdom series) (has romance)

The Elemental Masters by Mercedes Lackey

Mairelon the Magician by Patricia C. Wrede

The Cecilia and Kate novels by Patricia C Wrede (victorian epistolary books)

the Glamourist Histories by Mary Robinette Kowal (Austenish setting but with magic)

Riddle-Master series by Patricia A McKillip

The Warlock of Gramarye series by Christopher Stasheff (sci-fi with magic, probably hasn't aged the best but I haven't read them in ages)

A Wizard in Rhyme series by Christopher Stasheff (old, sci-fi with magic, alternate history)

The Dragon and the George by Gordon R Dickson (again, old)

And her Immortals series!
