If I could look back slightly farther than you asked to the last decade in philosophy of mind, I think one of the most important books published was David Chalmers' The Conscious Mind (1996). This book brought consciousness back to the forefront of discussion. One important trend in philosophy of mind in the last decade has been the advent of representationalism -- the view that consciousness (or what we might call phenomenal character) ultimately reduces to representational content. Important books on representationalism and related issues include Michael Tye's Ten Problems of Consciousness (1995), Fred Dretske's Naturalizing the Mind (1995), and Charles Siewert's The Significance of Consciousness (1998), though there are many others.

I don't think that there's any special reason to think that female philosophers are more insightful than male philosophers -- or vice versa, for that matter. Nonetheless, it may be true that female philosophers on occasion have different insights from their male counterparts. For example, feminist critiques of traditional ethical theories (like those offered by Kant and Mill) suggest that those theories focus on masculine values and ignore values that are of fundamental importance to women. Feminist philosophers have worked to develop an "ethics of care" that looks at moral questions very differently from traditional theories.

There is a book called Speaking Minds: Interviews with Twenty Eminent Cognitive Scientists , edited by Baumgartner and Payr, that you might find interesting.
