Something-elses of the world, unite! (p19) - Joanna Russ

Lady Sappho in curly gold letters is the name of the book I will (will not) write. (beginning of "Everyday Depressions")

Sex, when it's good (but how often is it that?) is like nothing on earth. So silly, so grand. So indecent, so matter-of-fact. (p95)

One of the most exciting things about working in SF for me, a woman, is that SF is so open-ended-it's perfectly possible to imagine a world where sexism doesn't exist, or in which women can be presented in the context of new myths that women can admire or learn from.
