As Laura's web-site demonstrates, the amount of feminist sf/fantasy/utopian
fiction is staggering. Good places for getting reading suggestions
can be found in the bibliography of Pamela Sargent's _Women of
Wonder: the Contemproary Years_ (currently in print!), & the Tiptree
Award website [http:// www.sf3.org/tiptree.html ], where most
of the fiction mentioned comes with annotated comments. Many
of my favorites have already been mentioned; let me add a few
that haven't:
Rebecaa Ore, _Gaia's Toys_, _The Illegal Rebirth of Billy the
Kid_, _Slow Funeral_ and "The Alien Bootlegger."
Bev Jafek's collection of short fiction, _The Man Who Took A Bite
Out of His Wife_.
Rachel Pollack's _Temporary Agency_.
Carol Emshwhiller's _Carmen Dog_, plus her various collections
of short fiction, including _The Start of the End of It All_.
(Sargent's _Women of Wonder: The Contemporary Years_ has a good
story of hers.)
Dorothy Bryant, _The Kin of Ata Are Waiting for You_.
Margaret Atwood's _The Handmaid's Tale_.
Candas Jane Dorsey's collection of short fiction, _Machine Sex...and
Other Stories_.
Aileen La Tourette, _Cry Wolf_.
Sue Thomas's _Correspondence_.
And finally, my very favorite sf book of all time, Mary Staton's
_From the Legend of Biel_.
And "much, much, more," of course, but that goes without saying.
