Please please please for the Women who Run With Wolves panel, talk about CJ Cherryh's Finisterre novels, if anyone can. Because it's a really critical look at the question. Although I admit that it doesn't show a lot of women, and the most important woman in the novels is a pubescent girl whose bond with a telepathic creature results in mass murder…

Hmm. Possibly not a perfect match, but certainly an interesting one, and the novels were written pretty explicitly as a counter-argument to McCaffrey and Lackey, or so I understand...
