John Joseph Adams asked what are your top ten SF-F books not written by white men<\/a>? Actually, he asked it in two parts: a top-ten list of nonmen, followed by a top ten list of nonwhites. Like everyone else who’s responded so far, I can do a list of women easily; embarrassingly (and typically), of the SF-F authors whose race I actually know, almost all of them are white (the late Octavia Butler seems to be a common exception). I might be able to do a nonwhite list, but it’d be almost all comics creators.<\/p>\n

Anyway, my top-ten-women list demonstrates a pretty strong pattern.<\/p>\n
