Generation drift? Maybe - and obviously each of us would produce a different list of 100 female SF authors. But I actually prefer more recently written stuff, so even though I'm of an older generation, I can't quite see the drift. I complained elsewhere that I just can't take seriously a list that includes both _Dead Until Dark_ by Charlaine Harris as well as _The Female Man_ by Joanna Russ. I know the list's only criterion is supposed to be "by a female author," but jeez, that's just jarring. I'm not even saying one is better than the other. Just that they are like putting paisley with pinstripes. On Tue, May 31, 2016 at 6:59 AM, Cahill, Colleen <[email protected]> wrote: > Generation drift is part this list [...] > -- Helge
