Awesome women sff writers

[oursin]

From Hither and Yon (immediately, from
arkessian), based on that Periodic Table, 75 Years of Fabulous Writers (pdf):

Bold the women by whom you own books (or books including works by them) (I may have included some whose works I no longer own, but did at some stage) (may also include some books still in the tbr pile).
Italicize those by whom you've read something of.
(Short stories count, and I counted non-fiction, or works edited by the individual.)
Star those of whom you've never heard.
