Wolfe: Misogynist Or Realist?

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

>> I can't think of a female soldier in BotNS

I would assume he's thinking of Foila, who is indeed a sympathetic and
likable character, a soldier recovering from wounds(?) in the Pelerines'
hospice. (She's the prize in the story-telling contest, but turns the tables
on the contestants by entering and winning.) This is in _Citadel of the
Autarch_.
