Waterloo, Ontario Lines: 14 Summary: It's not hard to explain why Piers Anthony and John Norman both write such excellent feminist SF. They are in fact, women. Anthony is the pen-name for Toni Pearce, who lives in Boise, Idaho. She started writing under a male name because she felt she was having trouble getting rejections because she was a woman. John Norman, alias Norma Johnson has been writing Gor books for years. I'm a bit surprised to see postings claiming "John Norman" as a good male feminist writer since I thought everybody knew this. I'm probably the millionth person to point this out. -- Brad Templeton, Looking Glass Software Ltd. - Waterloo, Ontario 519/884-7473
