Female sf/f ...WAS: Book of the New Sun won the contest!

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.

Gwyneth Jones's Aleutian Trilogy (White Queen, North Wind, Phoenix Cafe) is excellent.

  Somehow I seem to have only read a handful of women writers over the years:  Flannery O'Connor is one of my favourite authors, period.  Ursula Le Guin impresses me hugely at times.  I'm interested in checking out more Kathe Koja.  But I just don't dig dividing it up between men and women anyway - it's more about great authors to me, regardless of gender.
