NP, a request for female authors (with a M&D mention at the end)

[Mark Kohut]

One of my unimportant "hobbies' is watching--comes from my erstwhile
profession---how writers "move" in the cultural ether. Or how I think I see
them move...
(with Google analytics now one can actually get some loose stats if wanted)

Watching Ms Le Guin get canonized (sic) in Amer Lit history has been very
rewarding....from L of A thru so much attention, quoting, being alluded
to---that
great story of the suffering of children for example.....
