I've just bought
The Female Man, as it sounds like something I'd enjoy (I'm also prompted by the mention of Delany, who is a favorite, though his
Nevčr˙on books sit intimidatory on the shelves much like Proust lists my ereader
).
From my position of ignorance, how would authors I enjoy like Margaret Atwood and Sherri S. Tepper sit within this discussion and alongside Joanna Russ? And if I was interested in reading further relevant works in the SF world, what and who would you recommend, whether out of importance or just sheer pleasure? For example, oddly, and somehow, Le Guin has managed to completely pass me by.
Cheers,
Marc
