Great SF/F Books by Female Authors: A Massive Twitter List! #sffbywomen
Earlier today, I posted seven sf/f books by women worth checking out for International Women’s Day. This led to a tweet asking folks online to list a single sf/f work by a woman that they think is exceptional. Folks promptly ignored the “single” part and sent me a lot of suggestions. You can add your own suggestions in the comments here or via the #sffbywomen tag on Twitter.
In any case, if you’re looking for something new to read and care about gender parity, here’s a massive list of great works of sf/f by women (note: the list may be edited later; I may send the question to Facebook and Google+ to make things interesting).
Enjoy!
