I read those with an asterisk when much younger some in the magazine publications. Sadly when Dune came out I was in a place where US magazines were hard to come by. In my late 30s and early 40s I was quite
restricted in
my spending and stopped reading SF magazines except for special issues
which I would occassionally see at news stands here in SF.

I am an old lady now and have a different viewpoint from my youth when very few SF stories gave women anything but a supporting role.

About half of my six star book have women as the main protagonist. They
are marked with a !.

Thanks,
