Rite of Passage by Alexi Panshin, foreward by Roger Zelazny (1968 edition)
It's been a while since I read this, but I remember liking it well enough. The main character was normal and unremarkable.
My most charitable interpretation of the foreward is just that when this was written, perhaps it WAS remarkable to treat a female character as human and interesting enough to be worthy of a story.
