A Feminist SF Meme, Pt. 3
This is a meme wherein you note which of the female SF writers you've read out of the total list that got started in the range of years. This post is for writers who got their start in 1990-1993; previous posts are here and here. (Note: It's now alphabetical by first name. It's also culled from ISFDB, so extremely long. *grin*)
Originally posted here, here, here, and here. Unfortunately, I have never read anything by any of these authors (I know, shame!) so instead of using the variant proposed here I will go by the original rules: I am italicizing the authors I've heard of and underlining the authors of whose work I own at least one example.

I don't know what happened here. True, the lists are much more comprehensive. . . there are a lot of authors that in my bookstore days I filed under "Romance" and "Mystery" and straight "Fiction", but which I assume (because of their presence on this list) use some SFF elements; I would not expect myself to have read any of those people. But still. . . the 90s so far are not looking good.
