Melissa Scott deals with class issues as well as anyone in science
fiction. See particularly Night Sky Mine and Dreaming Metal.
Octavia Butler deals with race literally or symbolically in virtually all
of her fiction, but see particularly Kindred.
Race is of some importance in Karen Joy Fowler's Sarah Canary.
Class issues play some role in Nicola Griffith's Slow River.
Class issues play a central role in Nancy Kress's Beggars trilogy:
Beggars in Spain, Beggars and Choosers (where they are perhaps most
important), and Beggars Ride
Class is an issue in Valery Martin's Mary Reilly.
Race and class are both issues in Lisa Mason's The Golden Nineties.
Race is a major issue in Maureen McHugh's Tiptree Award-winning China
Mountain Zhang.
Hope these help.
