Women read Wolfe too

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've never posted before but felt compelled to do so today.
I'm a 40 year old mother of three living in Michigan and I've read science fiction and fantasy from about the age of 10.
I've read most of Wolfe's works but since I can't find anyone (male or female) else that has, I subscribe to this list.
I read pretty widely; with 3 kids it's my "escape" if you will.? 
I have never read any books that my neighbors or coworkers (i.e. other women) have ever heard of, and vice versa.
Not?a lot of female sci-fi / fantasy fans out here in suburbia.?
Have any other women posted?
Patty
