The ratio here is far better-1 out of 6.īut TLDV, which was slated to contain at least 31 stories (this is from Ellison's "plug" for the book in the Introduction to A,DV), had only four women on its preliminary list as of Ellison's intro (McCaffrey, Butler, Doris Pitkin Buck, and Vonda McIntyre). That's 1 female author for every 11 men-not good.Ī,DV had 48 stories (and I do think it was unfair that 3 of the authors were allowed multiple stories), of which 8 were by women (counting James Tiptree, Jr., whose secret was still safer than Fort Knox at the time).and this time, along with a couple of first-timers, there were some definite Big Names, and their stories were worthy ones indeed. I had never heard of any of the women whose work was included, but the stories were strong ones. The first DV had 33 stories, of which only 3 were by female authors. I own both DV collections, and it's interesting to note that the ratio of female to male authors improved from the first collection to the second. ![]()
