First of all, let me make some recommendations for summer reading. Right now
I'm reading Le Guin's *Four Ways to Forgiveness* and would heartily
recommend it. In fact, I wouldn't mind seeing a discussion in this forum.
Some books relevant to this list that I've read and recommend:
Marge Piercy: *He, She and It* and *Woman on the Edge of Time*
Joan Slonczewski: *Door Into Ocean* (I can't recommend Daughter of Elysium)
I'd also like to see a discussion of feminism on Babylon 5. I run a web site
on B5 called The Bab5 Zone
<http://www.geocities.com/SouthBeach/1672/bab5.html>
I also run a tiny list on Babylon 5 and anarchy. Contact me for more
details.
So what do people think about Ivanova's character? Compared to Captain
Janeway or Major Kira?
