How many people out there have read and liked any/all of Cherryh's stuff
or Tanith Lee's works? I liked Cherryh's Downbelow Station a lot and much
of Tanith Lee's wierder stories. A friend of mine however won't read any
of that stuff on first principles. To paraphrase him, "after all, how many
really good female SF authors do you know?" I personally think that the
number is certainly substantial. I guess a lot of female SF writers though
are still suffering from prejudices such as this and find that they must hide
behind names which are patently male or gender non-specific. Cases in point
are C.J.Cherryh and Andre Norton.
