Thank you for this, Kari. I only just found my way here (via FB).
This feels, alas, distinctly familiar. And often one used to wonder what happened to certain writers - Tanith Lee, CJ Cherryh?
It also reminds me that every new generation of women seems to have to rediscover feminism from the top, so to speak.
I think the marginalisation of (older) women and so many other groups needs to be recognised but also passed on to the next generation.
