Liking this list a lot! I've read a bunch of these and enjoyed them so if that's any indication of the quality of the rest for me, then I'll enjoy many of the others!
I think I'll catch some flack for saying this, but skimming I'm only seeing 14% of the authors are female. I'm sure there are many reasons why one might say the proportion of female to male SF writers is not the same as the proportion of male to female in society at large, but it would have been nice to see more female representation on the list.
- ghaff 6y agoI think your numbers are about right even allowing for the pseudonyms of husband and wife teams (Lewis Pladgett) and women individually (James Tiptree Jr) but it just reflects what has been a rather male-dominated genre. You'd see the flip case I'm sure if we were talking romance novels.
