dancing_crowI was reading Jo Walton's LJ, and she mentioned a long post on Truepenny's (which I read for the Due South commentary as much as anything) which had a coherent critique of Bujold among others. After some determined rooting about, I found it, and realized in following the long comments that I had a lovely reading list. So I have been working my way down it, revisiting DSayers (Strong Poison) and trying Eleanor Arnason's Ring of Swords and Maureen F. McHugh's China Mountain Zhang.
OK, I just went back and reread the post, which, while awesome, did not mention any of the books I thought I had read about. So now I have to go find the post, somewhere.
I hate losing stuff.
ETA: further digging about found me THIS (Hurrah!) and you should pore over that as well. Genre Conventions. And Why Women's Work Must Be Done. aaaand enough of the Significant Caps, thank you.
