Periodic Table of SF Women--Meme!

I got this from Matt Cheney, who got it from Cheryl Morgan, who got it from Mary Robinette Kowal, based on the Periodic Table of SF Women:

Bold the women by whom you own books (I’m assuming this includes books or magazines edited by people who are not fiction writers).Italicize those by whom you’ve read something (short stories count)*Star those you don’t recognize [note: I've encountered so many names in my life, I always feel like I recognize most. The ones I've starred are ones that, if somebody mentioned them in conversation, would cause a profoundly vague expression to come over my face. And I'm doing this quickly, so I hope I don't star anybody who I not only recognize, but have spent actual time with...]

For my part, I've ignored review copies received in favor of books I actually bought at one time (some are in storage, some have been sold back, because we just don't have room). This is by no means all of the SF/F women authors we own books by, and then there's a huge number of literary mainstream books by women in both of our collections.Johanna SinisaloAndre NortonC. L.
