Black Women are Beautiful. So how come you don't see them in Science-Fiction? So begins this interesting website. It lists those series which include black women ("Blake's 7", original "Star Trek" and "UFO" are obvious examples) and those shows which do not (eg. "Babylon 5" and most "Star Trek"). This page is challenging and its few words convey a deeper message than might first appear. Find it at www.firsttvdrama.com/central/bgirls.php3

Here's one for a feast of the mind . This is an Index to Female Writers In Science Fiction, Fantasy & Utopia: 18th Century to the Present. It contains some useful (and perhaps somewhat revealing) lists of feminist writers, non-English-language feminist SF writers, even lesbian writers. These pages of text have interesting potential as a starting point for research or to look for other links. Try www.feministsf.org/femsf/authors/wsfwriters.html
