James McGinnis says:
Nothing from Andre Norton, Anne McCaffery, Tracy Hicks or Katherine Kurtz. How? Andre Norton was the pioneer of women science fiction fantasy writers. She broke (make that shattered) the gender barrier in the 1950’s. Anne McCaffery made the telepathic-bonded dragon rider a staple in fantasy. Tracy Hicks led the way for women into tabletop role playing games. Katherine Kurtz and her Deryni. Zena Henderson and her People.
You provided a few gems but left out the DIAMONDS.
I gotta agree with James. All of the ones you mentioned are good, but you left out the best of the best in Norton (add Witch World, and Star Rangers was one of the first SciFi I read as a kid), McCaffrey (I live on Pern, and add the Talent/Tower and Hive series, and Brain/Brawn), Kurtz, and Marion Zimmer Bradley (canceled or not, her Darkover novels are still among the best).
