1) this canon thing shall be studied someday as a special kind of
obsession found among sf fans by the late twentieth century. but should i
vote for such a canon - i mean, for a "feminist sf canon", i'd surely add
to the list
- Le Guin's "Left Hand"
- Russ's "Female Man"
- Sterling's "Schismatrix"
- Tiptree (But, gee, what to choose among so many things? "Houston",
maybe)
- Delany, for sure ("Babel-17" would be the more explicit reference; but
see what delany thinks on his being labeled a "feminist sf writer" in
his _silent interveiews_)
there's more, much more on this topic.
