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) |
