Difference (from prior major revision) (no other diffs)

Changed: 1,20c1

Although the novel Frankenstein, written in 1818by Mary Shelley has been called the first science fiction novel, there is a persistent but false belief that women did not enter the field of science fiction writing until the 1960's and 1970's.

Other notable women in the science fiction field include:

*[Leigh Brackett]?
*[Marion Zimmer Bradley]?
*[Judy-Lynn Del Rey]?
*[Zenna Henderson]?
*[Mercedes Lackey]?
*Ursula K. LeGuin
*[Anne McCaffrey]?
*[Judith Merril]?
*[Elizabeth Moon]?
*[C. L. Moore]?
*[Andre Norton]? (Born Alice Mary Norton, changed her name to Andre Alice Norton)
*Joanna Russ
*[Margaret St. Clair]?
* James Tiptree, Junior (Pen name of Alice Sheldon)
