This List is going to get looooooooooooong. I'm going to just give it a start :)
The Holy Book of Women's Mysteries: Feminist Witchcraft, Goddess Rituals
by Zsuzanna Budapest -- The primary resource.
Women's Rites, Women's Mysteries: Creating Ritual In The Dianic Wiccan Tradition by Ruth Barrett -- I haven't read this one but it's generally regarded as on almost equal footing with Z's book.
The Grandmother of Time: A Woman's Book of Celebrations, Spells, and Sacred Objects for Every Month of the Year by Zsuzanna Budapest -- I got this from a lady here at MW. Thanks hon! I loved it :)
Diane Stein's Guide to Goddess Craft by Diane Stein -- I have an earlier version of this book. It wasn't one of my favorites, but if you are starting, it's a good place.
Casting the Circle: A Women's Book of Ritual by Diane Stein -- This is probably one of the best books on this list.
All Women Are Healers: A Comprehensive Guide to Natural Healing -- A great resource. :)
A Wisewoman's Guide to Spells, Rituals and Goddess Lore by Elisabeth Brooke -- This is my favorite book on the list. The guided meditations in it are amazing.
Women Healers : Portraits of Herbalists, Physicians, and Midwives by Elisabeth Brooke -- Another great one.
Medicine Women : A Pictorial History of Women Healers by Elisabeth Brooke -- Interesting, but I like Women Healers a little better :)
A Woman's Book of Shadows: Witchcraft: a Celebration by Elisabeth Brooke -- This is okay, but the Wisewoman's guide was better for me.
