Comments: To: feministsf@uic.edu MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII The list has just begun, and will probably continue to be very quiet for a few days or weeks - I hope to pull together a list of recent correspondents to the femsfweb pages and alert all of them, and also to announce the list existence on a couple of other SF lists. I started the list just a few days ago and have been getting 1-3 requests to join a day, so it might get pretty busy after a while. In the meantime, I'll introduce myself. I'm Laura Quilter, a librarian in Chicago, and I started the Feminist Science Fiction, Fantasy & Utopia web site. Laura M.

Little" Subject: Introduction, Discussion Ideas, and Tepper Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Hello, All, I'm Judith Little, a new philosopher and Sci Fi fan. My areas of speciality are Social and Political Philosophy, and Ethics. I discovered Feminist Sci Fi about two years ago and can't get enough of it. Some profs, administrators, and I are starting a Feminist Sci Fi discussion group on campus. I'd appreciate some ideas for our reading list, especially the first book, which will be crucial in determining the group's success. Most of us have read the classics (LeGuin, Peircy, Russ, etc.) and have recently discovered Sherri S. Tepper. I was thinking of one of Octavia Butler's books for the first book, as I've only read her short story, "Bloodchild." Any ideas for Butler or any other authors' works will be most appreciated. Speaking of Tepper, I just finished teaching an intersession course, which I called "Sci Fi, Sex, and Philosophy." I substituted Tepper's "Gate to Women's Country" as one of the course books at the last minute because Susan Elgin's "Native Tongue" was out of print. I'd be interested in comments about Tepper's work, especially GTWC and "Shadow's End."
