    It always strikes me how few female sci-fi and fantasy writers I’ve read. I’ve tried amending that mistake over the last couple of years but it’s not easy, especially when looking for books translated into more obscure languages.

      Now that you say it - her sci-fi is also up there with the best. Did you find any other interesting female sci-fi authors?

        Yes! Becky Chambers is a really interesting one. Her series Wayfarers is really different to most stuff I’ve read.

        I also read Octavia E. Butler’s Kindred, which was amazing. Wholeheartedly recommend it.

        Julian May has a great series in two parts, the Saga of Pliocene exiles and the Galactic Milieu trilogy. Amazing books, great story, very moving and thought provoking.
