I am more of a fantasy girl these days, where I think women have a slightly stronger foothold, but you are absolutely right, especially these days. As we move back in time to where Tepper, Le Guin, and Norton were bigger players, you see more women SF writers, especially during a feminist period where SF was actually used to examine gender issues. My own mom was writing a feminist slanted SF novel at the time (though she came close to publishing, she was asked to change aspects of the book--mainly the feminist points--that she refused to change) so I think I have a little familiarity as a child with these wonderful but often cast aside female SF writers. You have to dig through used bookstores to find good ones these days. I promote Dawn Treader Bookshop if you are anywhere in the area of Ann Arbor, MI at any point, or feel like calling them or hitting up their website.<br /><br />In the modern day more and more people, including women, believe they are gender neutral, but the actual slant hasn't changed that much. For one, most aren't aware the publishing industry puts a big ass slant in it, just by what is put out and publicized.<br /><br />I'm already a Russ reader--across the board in my reading inclinations. I'm more willing to pick up a book, especially an SF book where I don't want to see the same ol' same ol' lack of character development, if it is written by a woman. Gender divisions are still out there, pervading our lives from the time we are small, and if you aren't reading women writers, you aren't getting a woman's slant on how the universe works, should work, might work, etc. You are blinding yourself to an important and individualized half of the canon. Because I'm not going to say that women write like men. Maybe all people should have the same outlooks, concerns and interests, but that isn't the real world. <br /><br />Yay the Russ movement! I may have to slide my reading back towards SF just to support. <br /><br />I am giving you a present b/c I love you. It is four minutes of stop action fun for your day.<br /><br />My Little Pony Massacre: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-QiODJ0aS8Bets Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01470190008122531460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4969118593234819900.post-33619847282137357772012-01-19T23:04:15.180+00:002012-01-19T23:04:15.180+00:00Cara

On my list totally would be: C.J. Cherryh (Cyteen, Foreigner Series), Doris Egan (Ivory Trilogy), Naomi Novik (Temeraire), Barbary Hambly (Windrose Tilogy), Robin McKinley (The Blue Sword, Sunshine), Marta Randall (The Sword of Winter), Glenda Noramly/Larke (Havenstar), Rosemary Kirstein (Steerswoman books), Ann Aguirre (Grimspace), Laura Resnick (In legend born)<br />Marion Zimmer Bradley and the Mists of Avalon changed my view of the world (I wouldn't read them again because I know at least one of the characters I'd want to kill as soon as she appears today) but I liked her Darkover books better. I also would add Ilona Andrews and Pip Ballantine even with their male co-authors. The beauty of it is that we all can have our own list :) and I will never run out of suggestions what to read next...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4969118593234819900.post-36054089247938030442011-07-01T15:34:12.953+01:002011-07-01T15:34:12.953+01:00That's great Stephen.

So from now on I'll review a book by a woman for every book I review by a man. In the long run, maybe that'll have a positive effect on submissions.Stephen Theakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11394493689032839157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4969118593234819900.post-30812859387339263712011-07-01T12:55:57.324+01:002011-07-01T12:55:57.324+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Stephen Theakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11394493689032839157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4969118593234819900.post-16590787452579655272011-05-03T15:46:29.701+01:002011-05-03T15:46:29.701+01:00IT is Stephen King's BEST novel ever.
