*sigh*  You're not just imaging it (or even imagining it).  Varley's
women typically are half as old and twice as strong, and the bad
guys are *always* male.  Well, just about.  And telling me that Gaea
is female is not weakening my point.

Despite that, Varley is one of SF's best word smiths and story tellers,
including (in my opinion) the Gaea Trilogy but not MILLENIUM.
