Feminist Science Fiction

That's a bit redundant. All feminist writing is fiction.

How many books would estimate that you have read since leaving high school? 90% of americans never read an entire book the rest of their lives.

I honestly couldn't say how many I've read in total since graduating high school. That's not something I keep track of at a glance. I can confidently say I read a little over three hundred last year alone in two different languages, which has been pretty much the average since my graduating from college. I've never heard of Ursula K. Le Guin in all that time. I don't read much writing from women at all.
