The world is severely lacking in famous female authors. LightsongTheBold Send a noteboard - 12/09/2009 02:53:03 PM
Robin Hobb is great, I'm not descriminating, but most of the books that are recommended or read by fantasy readers are male authors. I love Robin Hobbs things, and other people apparently like Anne McAffrey, god knows why. But I think the discussion of female authors on here is directly proportional to the amount of female fantasy authors out there.

While part of that is true, part of it really deals with a thought when I glanced through the posts Larry - 12/09/2009 10:55:07 AM 861 Views
