I've got a friend who recently read Juliet Marillier's Sevenwaters Trilogy and loves Mists of Avalon who's looking for good fantasy, preferably of a Celtic bent, with strong female characters. Any suggestions? Heh, I've found I generally read more Asian and fairy-tale influenced fantasy, so I've probably missed this entire vein.

Diane Duane's trilogy, THE DOOR INTO FIRE, THE DOOR INTO SHADOW, and THE DOOR INTO SUNSET are enthralling reading, and heavily influenced by Celtic mythology. I think your friend might be very pleased with them. All three books can be found in paperback form, now, under the title TALES OF THE FIVE, I think.
