From SF Signal: Harry Markov Asks “Where Are the Women in Genre?”

Harry writes:

Gender politics is a messy thing and I don’t like to speak for the whole community, but if we’re still in the active pursuit of the answer to where women in genre are, then we have a problem.

How can you be a part of Women in Genre month?

Express your love for women in fiction on your blogs.
If you’re on Twitter, join the conversation with the hashtag #WomenInGenre
Drop by my blog, The Alternative Typewriter, and leave comments with the names of the women in genre you value on any post from April 1st to April 30th. Once April concludes, I’ll gather all the names in one comprehensive list and see just how many women there are in genre.
Check out and support Fantasy Café’s “Women in SF&F Month“, which served as motivation and inspiration to create this project. Kristen is doing this for a second year and has planned a very busy month of contributions by and about women in genre.



Oh, and you can also buy my books [grin!]

I was pleased to see the number of women on the Hugo ballot (and not all of them were Seanan :-).
