Either way, this form of communication is valuable. What did we have before
this? I'm pleased to be able to communicate with others that share my
values and that live all over the world. This is a great medium. We should
feel blessed, for now.
By the way, I'm interested in reading books that feature strong,
independent woman that are physically fit and confident in their approach to
life. Haven't read science fiction since high school, so I need
recommendations. I am emphatically not interested in reading about any
female characters who did it all or even part of it for a male. I'm not
exclusively intersted in lesbian heros. I just want to read about female
heros that are heroic. This must include physical strength or skill.
Looking forward to all the recommendations I'm sure will come in.
If anyone wants to explain why they recommend a certain book, I'm sure you
can understand why that would be valuable.
If you enjoy and value strong women, do a web search for Amazon International.
