Ian Sales has updated his Mistressworks list, making the number of books up to 100, and removing some Fantasy works. The new list can be found here.
You just know I'm going to go down it again and post here those I've read.
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley;
Swastika Night by Katharine Burdekin;
The Dispossessed by Ursula K LeGuin;
The Female Man by Joanna Russ;
Don’t Bite the Sun by Tanith Lee;
Floating Worlds by Cecelia Holland;
Where Late The Sweet Birds Sang by Kate Wilhelm (altho possibly the novella, not the novel);
The Crystal Singer by Anne McCaffery;
The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood;
The Dream Years by Lisa Goldstein;
Despatches from the Frontiers of the Female Mind, edited by Sarah Lefanu & Jen Green;
Queen of the States by Josephine Saxton;
Cyteen by CJ Cherryh;
Grass by Sheri S Tepper;
Beggars in Spain by Nancy Kress (at least, the short story);
Doomsday Book by Connie Willis
and
The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell.
That's, what, 17? And two of those are a tad dubious. I note I credited myself with A Door Into Ocean last time round, but I'm really not sure about that one. And I saw Sarah Canary in Waterstones on Saturday but decided not to buy it. Silly me!
Will have to do better. Really.
