Women in science fiction

[meteordust]

Gakked from issen4:

SO, if you start with Diana Comet's Periodic Table of Women in Science Fiction (PDF) from Sandra McDonald's blog. And then you list them out in no particular order, so you have 117 women that are considered important in the SF field.

NOW, bold the ones you own books of, italicise the women you've read something of (short stories count) and star (*) those you've never heard of.
