It's no wonder women are more into sci-fi and fantasy today than in the past. So many modern sci-fi and fantasy books include cultures far more egalitarian and female-led than we experience in real life. It's a pleasure to dive into those worlds.

I've always enjoyed a bit of fantasy and Sci-fi. So pleased the rest of the female reading world is catching up.

Its good to know that the numbers of fellow female SF and science geeks is on the increase. An interest in SF generally goes hand in hand with an interest in STEM subjects. Certainly for me it was reading SF that made me follow a career in science! I think that's true for many people.

Now all we need is for mainstream publishers and agents to catch up and embrace it. All too often I see 'No SF' in submission guidelines!

Yep. Sci-fi is apparently not literature ... They've apparently never read Ken Liu's stories.
