Can > anyone help? > Thanks > Diane According to another list I'm on, this is the current broadcast schedule: LATHE OF HEAVEN AIRDATES (Thanks to Lee Whiteside) Coming Soon: THE LATHE OF HEAVEN on PBS A schedule of airings around the country--mark your calendar! As has been reported previously, the TV movie of The Lathe of Heaven is being made available to PBS stations for special 20th anniversary screenings in June. These broadcasts will include an interview with the author of the original novel on which the movie is based, Ursula K. LeGuin, conducted by Bill Moyers. Here`s a list of stations schedule to air air the program: KCOS/El Paso, TX June 7 9 p.m. KCTS/Seattle June 4 8 p.m. KERA/Dallas June 24 or 25 KNME/Albaq. NM June 3 10 p.m. Maryland PTV June 3 10:30 p.m. Nebraska PTV June 10 8:30 p.m. Oregon PTV June 21st Vermont PTV June 3 Mountain Lake PBS June 3 9 p.m. (same market as Vermont) WEDU/Tampa, FL June 14th 10 p.m. WHYY/Philadelphia Early June WMHT/Schnectady June 6 9 p.m. WNET/New York June 3 8 & 10:30 p.m. WPBT/Miami June 10 11 p.m. WQLN/Erie, PA June 10 10:30 p.m. WSBE/Providence, RI June 4 8:30 p.m. WSRE/Pensacola, FL June 4 9 p.m. WUFT/Gainesville, FL June 2 10:30 p.m. The movie will be made available on VHS video and DVD (and will likely be a pledge premium). The movie will not be on the national feed available via satellite and on Direct TV and The Dish Network. This is because the movie is not being distributed by PBS, but by a distributor for WNET. The satellite outlets only carry programs handled directly by PBS. This distribution arrangement is also why a lot of stations are not carrying it. According to one station, the movie is only available as part of a package from the distributor, and they don`t want the rest of the package and thus will not be carrying it. _______________________________ Deb Stone dcs@ameritech.net, dcs@cs-g.com -------------------------------------------------- This is the FEMINISTSF listserve, intended only for discussion of feminism and Speculative Fiction.

So far we have met with limited success for fiction. Please look at some of the Heinlein juveniles. They share the misfortunes of being written for a 50's Boys Life [the American Boy Scout magazine] audience, but while the protagonists are male, there are some of the female characters you are looking for. My best guess is that _Have Space Suit Will Travel_ was the first Heinlein I read. I was nine or ten. The girl there is one of the characters you're looking for. Not too long ago, I reread _Citizen of the Galaxy_, and was very pleasantly surprised and quite impressed. While the didactic checklist showed through a little to my adult eyes, the points made were all admirable, and made well. There is a loud implicit argument against sexism: the adolescent protagonist has picaresque (sp?) adventures through various strata and cultures of galactic society, enjoying his time with matriarchal space traders; later, when a plutocrat scoffs at the possibility that women could handle major, intricate responsibilites, he simply looks like a buffoon. Especially since it's his own daughter who pulls our hero's chestnuts out of the fire with her own knowledge, shrewdness, pluck and brains. I'm just back from a long, wonderful, tiring weekend, and will post other suggestions as they come to me.

Two of Hughes' novels I think may suit her research purposes are _The Keeper of the Isis Light_, which is recommended reading for grade eight students and _The Tomorrow City_, which I believe is typically presented to grade sixes. I love _The Keeper_ and enjoyed sharing it with one of my classes years ago. While the young female heroine is not a scientist per se, she is "the keeper of the Isis light" (a futuristic light-keeper) responsible for maintaining a signal on a remote planet and rendering assistance to space travellers in distress. The story centers around some painful discoveries: that her beloved "Guardian" is a robot and that he has altered her chemistry and appearance, making her reptilian, so she can comfortably inhabit the non-terran planet. Sixteen-year-old Olwen discovers what it means to be considered different and to be shunned when a group of settlers arrive from the over-crowded, over-worked Earth her parents originated from. She also experiences the joys and pain of her first love lost and is valorized for rescuing a young boy who gets lost and is in serious danger. I have read the short story version of "The Tomorrow City" which is in a grade eight textbook of early eighties vintage called _Contexts Anthology II_. In it Caroline and her friend David save their city from a computer that has taken on a malicious mind-set of it's own. I would be happy to fax a copy of this to you.

She has collected some awards for these stories. I read a couple of them and I can recommend them - they are very imaginative, exciting, with the right blend of the inexplicable and questioning scepticism.

Was very discouraging at the time. Jo Ann who has to think about 6 times over what she puts into a search engine nowadays, sigh. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cyn" To: Sent: Wednesday, May 31, 2000 5:22 PM Subject: Re: [*FSFFU*] Women, science, and young adult fiction > It's by O.T.
