I'd send you mail, but I can't use the path you give.

James Tiptree, Jr., is a woman & a hell of a good SF writer.  I'd call her a
feminist as well.  She's published several collections: Ten Thousand Light
Years From Home, Star Songs of an Old Primate, Out of the Everywhere, Warm
Worlds and Otherwise.  Also a fine novel, Up the Walls of the World, which
you might especially like: one of the main characters is a black female
programmer who becomes quite a bit more than that.  She has a new novel out,
which I haven't seen yet, called Brightness Falls from the Air.
