I didn't want to miss the opportunity to share this discovery, maybe the feminists or the sci-fans out there already know her well, but to me it's a completely new name. By this post I came to know Joanna Russ, a visionary intellectual, an incredible writer a, legendarily fiery critic [...], an unrepentant sci-fi fan [...], feminist crusader and one of the first major female and openly lesbian sci-fi scribe to hit major success.

I was instantly hooked by her short story named When it changed (full text there). I cannot add more to what's said there, take a look.

PS: Thanks, Coilhouse, one more book to already big list of wishlists...
