Vonda, please do post that so-called "rant"! I discovered your other
books after reading one of your Star Trek novels, and I'm very glad that
happened. Also, I will say shamelessly that I waited from 1966 until
ST:Voyager came on the air wishing to see a female ST captain who wasn't
a nut case (I'm referring to a certain episode of the original Star
Trek, either you'll understand this reference or you won't) and that I
thoroughly enjoy Kate Mulgrew's character.

I forgot to say in my own introduction how I discovered this list. It
was very simple, I was using my browser to look for anything on the
subject of "feminist science fiction" and up it popped.
