I just finished this book and loved it. Thanks so much to whoever originally nominated it! Gloss creates three separate worlds, each real to me, and she reveals them not through the usual SF world-building description but rather through the intimate details of everyday life. How would you compare this an earlier discussion book, The Sparrow? It reminded me of that a bit, in the journey from Earth, and also in covering some religious topics. I was also reminded of the lyrical style of Black Wine, though the subjects were quite different. What did you think? ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 5 Mar 2000 19:37:07 EST Reply-To: Feminist SF/Fantasy and Utopia Literature ON TOPIC Sender: Feminist SF/Fantasy and Utopia Literature ON TOPIC From: No Name Available Subject: Re: BDG: Dazzle of Day MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit please take me off this list Thank you ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 7 Mar 2000 11:50:48 -0800 Reply-To: Feminist SF/Fantasy and Utopia Literature ON TOPIC Sender: Feminist SF/Fantasy and Utopia Literature ON TOPIC From: Freddie Baer Subject: 1999 James Tiptree Jr Memorial Award Comments: cc: FEMINISTSF@LISTSERV.UIC.EDU Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII The 1999 James Tiptree Jr. Memorial Award has been announced: Suzy McKee Charnas's _The Conqueror's Child_ has won the 1999 James Tiptree Jr. Memorial Award.

I have recently joined this list, and I had a question. my Science Fiction teacher--who doesn't know much about the genre, but then, i'm in high school, so that's not necessarily a problem--asked me to come up with some titles of good short stories written by women. I gave her a couple of book recommendations, but I was wondering if some of you could give me some other ideas. Thank you. in song, Shannon Curry ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 7 Mar 2000 14:54:53 -0800 Reply-To: Feminist SF/Fantasy and Utopia Literature ON TOPIC Sender: Feminist SF/Fantasy and Utopia Literature ON TOPIC From: Jessie Stickgold-Sarah Subject: Re: short stories In-Reply-To: <20000307222222.87338.qmail@hotmail.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Ursula le Guin, in general, is excellent in this form. On a mystery list I read, many people have recently been mentioning _The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas_. I haven't read it in years but remember it very fondly. ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 7 Mar 2000 15:06:44 -0800 Reply-To: Feminist SF/Fantasy and Utopia Literature ON TOPIC Sender: Feminist SF/Fantasy and Utopia Literature ON TOPIC From: Freddie Baer Subject: Re: short stories Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Pamela Sargent has edited a couple anthologies of short stories/novellas by women: Women of Wonder : The Classic Years : Science Fiction by Women from the 1940s to the 1970s http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0156000318/qid=952470180/sr=1-9/103-5150375-2787049 Women of Wonder : The Contemporary Years : Science Fiction by Women from the 1970s to the 1990s http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0156000334/qid=952470180/sr=1-10/103-5150375-2787049 Also, your teacher might want to take a look at our list mistress's website, inlcluding: Recommendations -- Feminist Science Fiction, Fantasy, & Utopia for Beginners http://www.wenet.net/~lquilter/femsf/recommended.html ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 7 Mar 2000 20:31:05 -0800 Reply-To: shander@cdsnet.net Sender: Feminist SF/Fantasy and Utopia Literature ON TOPIC From: Sharon Anderson Subject: Re: Short Stories MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Shannon, some specific titles of short fiction written by women are: James Tiptree (Racoona Sheldon), "Houston, Houston, Do You Read?", "The Women Men Don't See" Judith Merrill, "That Only A Mother" Vonda McIntyre, "Of Mist, Grass, and Sand" Kate Wilhelm, "The Funeral" Joanna Russ, "When It Changed" and, of course, Mary Shelley, "Frankenstein" I'm sorry I don't have specifics on where these can be found.
