Sable Aradia - 2017-01-01 10:56 AM I'm in for Women Grand Masters, by the way. Maybe I'll go ahead and make that one myself, if you don't, Dlw28. There have been five, and they have all left us an amazing body of work, and I'm intending to chew into C.J. Cherryh's work anyway. You would have to allow re-reads though, so I could dig into my Anne McCaffrey books again. Thanks for this!

If you include the World Horror Convention Grandmasters and WFA Life Achievement Award in the challenge you'll have ~20 more women to choose from.



Good idea! In the works!

Also, I was wrong. Now there are six. They gave it to Jane Yolan just this year. Which I did not know until I saw it on the site here. That's why I love this place!

Did you know that five women have received TWO out of these three possible lifetime achievement awards?! I'm calling them the Empresses of Speculative Fiction (Queens rule one nation; Empresses rule at least two). They are:

Ursula K. Le Guin
Tanith Lee
Andre Norton
Chelsea Quinn Yarbro
Jane Yolen

So I want to be them when I grow up, FYI.

Challenge will be up in a couple of hours; just gotta get the graphic done.
