The Women of Fantasy

Not a book review this time - a website review. Surfing for new stuff written by women in the fantasy genre - not necessarily new as in recently published but new to me - I ran into the typical lists of popular books such as listmania and so on. Then I found this very worthwhile site, lunacat.net, which describes itself as "Science Fiction & Fantasy by women." Reminiscent of a library site, it organizes books simply and effectively under categories such as Elves, Shape changers, Warrior Women & Assassins, and so on.

This site also has information on Dissociative Identity Disorder - the creator of the site says someone close to them was diagnosed with this and that it helped them to understand it better by delving into Science Fiction and Fantasy - especially that written by women.

A really fascinating and worthwhile site - somewhat old school (no high tech blogging interfaces here) yet more than functional. Like the internet in the old days. Enjoy!
