A Desolation Called Peace by Arkady Martine.STRANGER THINGS Season 4 to run super-sized episodes.More details revealed about ROGUE ONE prequel show.Thanks for letting me put my nickel in (inflation, right?). There were a handful of original anthologies giving the new kids a chance, and as Ellison pointed out, those who were not accepted for the DV books had other outlets to try. So, as you can see, the ratio of female to male authors in TLDV-assuming it had been released on schedule, nobody had withdrawn a story, and Ellison hadn't added any more stories at the last minute-would have been a little better than 1 out of 5.Īnd let's not forget that by the time A,DV came out, Ellison's little franchise was no longer the only game in town. Seabrook adds three more authors of which I was unaware, in which case the total number of female writers for TLDV would have been 7, with the total number of stories being 34. (I still giggle when I read Ellison's prediction that ' Wilhelm is the woman to beat, but Tiptree is the man.') The ratio here is far better-1 out of 6.īut TLDV, which was slated to contain at least 31 stories (this is from Ellison's 'plug' for the book in the Introduction to A,DV), had only four women on its preliminary list as of Ellison's intro (McCaffrey, Butler, Doris Pitkin Buck, and Vonda McIntyre). That's 1 female author for every 11 men-not good.Ī,DV had 48 stories (and I do think it was unfair that 3 of the authors were allowed multiple stories), of which 8 were by women (counting James Tiptree, Jr., whose secret was still safer than Fort Knox at the time).and this time, along with a couple of first-timers, there were some definite Big Names, and their stories were worthy ones indeed. I had never heard of any of the women whose work was included, but the stories were strong ones. The first DV had 33 stories, of which only 3 were by female authors. I own both DV collections, and it's interesting to note that the ratio of female to male authors improved from the first collection to the second.
