Quote of the Day

L. Timmel DuChamp on gender and writing, speaking at a panel on Gender and Speculative Fiction, sponsored by Tachyon Press at the Seattle Science Fiction Museum

I write about gender because I'm a feminist. I came to feminism before I started writing at all. When I started writing, I wanted to create women characters who could do interesting things and have interesting lives....That's the basic conundrum in writing speculative fiction: there's no point in a writer pushing farther than the reader will get, but at the same time if you don't push, you don't get anywhere new.
