Ian Sales announced at an Eastercon panel that he was releasing this list onto t'interweb, so I have grabbed it. This one is for women SF authors up to the end of the 20th Century. I'll post his separate list of 21st century women SF authors in a bit

#1 and #80 only, I'm afraid.

Hmm, I think I've only read 5 of these (3, 10, 30, 31, 33) though I've read different works by many of the authors, including 15, 23, 28, 47, 48, 52, 53, 60, 65, 78, 81, and I'd agree with Bunn that some of the choices don't seem the best. I'm slightly surprised as my impression had been that I read quite a lot of women writers, but then my tastes run more to fantasy than SF, and young adult, so may not make this list (and I wonder if possibly women writers are more well-represented in those genres, esp YA?)
