That women of SFF meme (based on the SF women periodic table, apparently) that's going around! Most of my faves are up here, suprisingly, but for some reason it seems to be missing Justine Larbalestier... So I added her at the end. :D

Bold the women by whom you own books (I’m assuming this includes books or magazines edited by people who are not fiction writers).
Italicize those by whom you’ve read something (short stories count)
*Star those you don’t recognize

Considering about 3/4s of my reading material is written by women, I have starred way too many of these. Although I'm so terrible with names, I've probably starred a whole bunch of people that I've not only heard of but read stories by. (Also many of the ones I haven't starred, I've only heard of in terms of "Yeah, I rememeber this name being mentioned occasionally on the author blogs I read...")

( The list! )
