So, John Scalzi posted a link to this article in which Gay Talese comes off as either a misogynist or an idiot. Then he posted a list, off the top of his head, of women writers who have inspired him. I thought I’d do the same:
Molly Ivins
Melanie Rawn
Anne McCaffrey
Harper Lee
Elizabeth Bear
Robin McKinley
Ann Leckie
C.J. Cherryh
Lorraine Hansberry
Jane Austen
J.K. Rowling
Joan Didion
Agatha Christie
R.S.A. Garcia
Madeline L’Engle
Leigh Brackett
… and that’s just off the top of my head.
