(Older) women in SF, women in SF history

ankh_hplThere’s been a certain amount of discussion on LJ lately about a dearth of older characters – particularly older female characters – in SF/F. To add a more hopeful note, I’d like to recommend Episode 379 of Tony C. Smith’s venerable StarShipSofa podcast. The Main Fiction – “Neighbours,” by Megan Lindholm / Robin Hobb – is one of the best things I’ve read or heard in this category in a very long time.
Find it here, but be sure to have some Kleenex handy when you listen. Trust me on this.
Also from the Sofa, in Episode 377, is a brilliant segment of Looking Back on Genre History. Dr. Amy H. Sturgis![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
eldritchhobbit offers the first of a series of articles on the considerable contributions of Mary Shelley & her mother, Mary Wollstonecraft. This monthly segment is always well worth the time spent listening, but anyone interested in women’s history (hey, it’s still Women’s History Month!) , SF history, or both shouldn’t miss this one. Find it here.
As usual, these episodes are also available for free on iTunes & elsewhere.
