'''''Always Coming Home''''' is a 1985 novel by [[Ursula K. Le Guin]], focusing on the character [[Stone Telling]] and her life with the [[Kesh]] and her experiences in a nearby patriarchal culture (the Condor people, aka the Dayao); and focusing perhaps even more on the culture of the Kesh.

The book contains a significant amount of cultural lore and essays on Kesh culture, and notes from [[Pandora (Le Guin character)|Pandora]]. Some editions were published with a cassette audio recording of "Songs and Poetry of the Kesh", performed by Todd Barton; the book contains illustrations by Margaret Chodos. Always Coming Home was adapted for the theater at Naropa University in 1993 by [[Ruth Davis-Fyer]], with music composed and directed by Brian Mac Ian.

Marc Kupper: /* Strong Female Role Model */ Good ideas, thank you

== Strong Female Role Model ==
The original post and Lquilter's reply were originally posted to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Lquilter#Strong_Female_Role_Model. I have copy/pasted here as it'll fit in well on this site. [[User:Marc Kupper|Marc Kupper]] 14:52, 6 May 2007 (PDT)

I had just finished a short fantasy story (''Catch of the Day'' by Jeff Grubb) and wanted to tag it as "Strong Female Role Model" over at www.isfdb.org. However, that tag would be far too long, most tags are one or two words. What I'm hoping you can help with would be a good place where I could ask what's a good one or two word tag for "strong female role model" that the average person would recognize?" Jessica Amanda Salmonson use "Amazons" for a couple of her anthologies though in my mind that's for female warriors. In the story I read the women are the captain and master of a ship (the remaining crew and passengers were male as far as I could tell) but they were not "amazons" but rather just competent people. I looked at http://wiki.feministsf.net but did not spot what seemed like an active talk page. Thank you. <span style="border: 1px solid rgb(250,0,255); border-bottom-style: none; padding: 0 2px 0 2px; white-space: nowrap;">[[User:Marc Kupper|Marc Kupper]] ([[User_talk:Marc Kupper|talk]]) ([[Special:Contributions/Marc_Kupper|contribs]])</span> 08:56, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
: We don't have good talk pages at the FSFwiki, but feel free to start one ... I set up a page at [http://wiki.feministsf.net/index.php?title=Talk:Feminist_SF-related_keywords_and_tags the FSFwiki]. However, the number of contributors is still relatively limited. ... You might try "strong female characters" or "female X" where "X" is the occupation? --[[User:Lquilter|lquilter]] 02:38, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

:: Both of those are great ideas. I'll tag the story with both "strong female characters" and "female leaders." [[User:Marc Kupper|Marc Kupper]] 14:52, 6 May 2007 (PDT)
