'''Alice Mary Norton''' ([[1912]]-[[2005]]), better known as '''Andre Norton''', was an award-winning author of more than a hundred novels, mostly in science fiction and fantasy.

==Names==
She wrote under three masculine pseudonyms: Andre Norton, Andrew North, and Allen Weston. Andre Norton was a legal name change.

==Biography==
Norton's parents were Adalbert Freely Norton, who owned a rug company, and Bertha Stemm Norton. She began writing at Collinwood High School in Cleveland, under the tutelage of Miss Sylvia Cochrane. She was the editor of a literary page in the school's paper called ''The Collingwood Spotlight'' for which she wrote short stories. During this time, she wrote her first book—''Ralestone Luck'', which was eventually published as her second novel in 1938, the first being ''The Prince Commands'' in 1934.

After graduating from high school in 1930, Norton continued her education at Flora Stone Mather College of [[Case Western Reserve University|Western Reserve University]]. In 1932, she began working for the [[Cleveland Public Library|Cleveland Library System]] and remained there for 18 years, latterly in the children's section of the Nottingham Branch Library in Cleveland. She legally changed her name to ''Andre Alice Norton'' in 1934 to appeal to a predominantly male audience and to increase her marketability. From 1940 to 1941, she worked as a special librarian in the cataloguing department of the [[Library of Congress]], involved in a project related to alien citizenship. The project was abruptly terminated upon the American entry into [[World War II]].

In 1941, she bought a bookstore called the ''Mystery House'' in [[Mount Rainier, Maryland]]. The business failed and she returned to the Cleveland Public Library until 1950. Then she began working as a reader for the [[Martin Greenberg]] at the [[Gnome Press]] company, where she remained until 1958, after which she became a full-time professional author. Note that [[Martin Greenberg]] is not the S.F. author [[Martin H. Greenberg]]

She was a member of the [[Swordsmen and Sorcerers' Guild of America (SAGA)]], a loose-knit group of [[Heroic fantasy|Heroic Fantasy]] authors founded in the 1960s, some of whose works were anthologized in [[Lin Carter|Lin Carter's]] ''[[Flashing Swords!]]'' anthologies.

In later years, as Norton's health became uncertain, she was motivated to move to Florida in November 1966, and then to [[Murfreesboro, Tennessee]]. From [[February 21]], [[2005]], she was under [[hospice care]], with her health in a precipitous decline. She died on [[March 17]], [[2005]], peacefully, in her own home.

Her final complete novel, ''Three Hands for Scorpio'', was published on 1 April 2005. She was collaborating with [[Jean Rabe]] on the novel ''Return to Quag Keep'' when she died. It was completed by Rabe and published in 2006.

On [[February 20]], [[2005]], the [[Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America]], which had earlier honored her with its [[Grand Master Nebula|Grand Master]] Award in 1983, announced the creation of the [[Andre Norton Award]], to be given each year for an outstanding work of fantasy or science fiction for the [[Young adult literature]] market, beginning in 2006. While the [[Andre Norton Award]] is not a [[Nebula Award]], the eligibility requirements and award procedures are the same as those for the [[Nebula Award]]s.

Often called the Grande Dame of Science Fiction and Fantasy by biographers such as J.M Cornwell and organizations such as [[Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America]], [[Publishers Weekly]], and [[Time (magazine)|Time]], Andre Norton wrote novels for over 70 years. She had a profound influence on the entire genre, having over 300 published titles read by at least four generations of science fiction and fantasy readers and writers. Notable authors who cite her influence include [[Greg Bear]], [[Lois McMaster Bujold]], [[C. J. Cherryh]], [[Cecilia Dart-Thornton]], [[Tanya Huff]], [[Mercedes Lackey]], [[Charles de Lint]], [[Joan D. Vinge]], [[David Weber]], and [[K. D. Wentworth]].

==Recurring themes==
In most Norton books, whether science-fiction or fantasy, the plot takes place in the open countryside, with only short episodes in a city environment. Protagonists usually move about singly or in small groups, and in conflict situations they are more often scouts, spies or guerillas rather than regular soldiers in large military formations (A. Jakes, "Fictional Soldiers", p. 46, 81).

As could be expected of such characters, they tend to be resourceful and capable of taking independent initiative. In some books, protagonists are introduced already in possession of such characteristics. In others the protagonists (often young) are thrust into situations where they must develop them quickly, and invariably succeed at it.

Other planets in the books are usually earthlike places, where humans can live without special protection, and have extensive flora and fauna which are described in considerable detail and often have substantial bearing on the plot. Airless planets and ones with unbreathable atmospheres are sometimes mentioned in passing, but are virtually never the main scene of a Norton book.

A common theme in the books is the presence of sympathetically presented feudal and tribal cultures. In several books [[Indigenous peoples of the Americas|Native American]] tribes and their various analogues are given a chance to be more successful than they were in actual American history. Non-human creatures and cultures are usually presented sympathetically, with human protagonists sometimes supporting them against oppressive human authorities. In contrast, several books present technological and mechanised cultures as negative or even positively evil.

An important role in Norton's books is often given to animals - both ordinary terrestrial ones, such as cats (with whom she had much personal experience) and exotic fictional ones, whose characteristics are meticulously worked out. Many of Norton's animals are highly intelligent without being anthropomorphic, acting as virtually full partners to the human protagonists and in many books forming [[telepathic]] links with them.

A fictional board and counter game called 'Stars and Comets' appears in many Norton books. However, only fleeting hints of the rules are revealed. Counters styled as either 'stars' or 'comets' move across the board taking opponents' pieces. The rules of movement and capture seem to be very complex allowing hidden strategies and sudden reversals of fortune. It may be that there are both elements of skill and chance. Often, it is not the game being played itself which features, but references to it as an analogy of some plot situation. Its use helps to reinforce the alien culture being portrayed, and also gives the reader a sense of continuity between books portraying differing people and places.

''Star Man's Son'' ( AKA ''Day Break 2250''), the story of a young man's quest through a [[post-apocalyptic]] landscape, has been retold endlessly, in print and in film, though Norton never received proper recognition for developing this theme{{Fact|date=June 2008}}. She also developed the concept of traveling through alternate worlds, in ''The Cross Roads of Time'', another theme which she developed{{Fact|date=June 2008}}. In the ''Time Trader'' series, she explored Celtic Europe, and Ice Age America, synthesizing of anthropology, archeology, and hard science fiction, and this series must also be seen as a pivotal exploration of time travel, as a method of fictionally exploring lost cultures. The second book in the Time Trader series, ''Galactic Derelict'', features the use of recovered alien technology, to enable human travel to the stars, and this theme is also very recurrent, with definite features developed by Andre Norton.

Andre Norton

Taranet: /* Biography */ It seems we dont have Biographies in this wiki

'''Alice Mary Norton''' ([[1912]]-[[2005]]), better known as '''Andre Norton''', was an award-winning author of more than a hundred novels, mostly in science fiction and fantasy.

==Names==
She wrote under three masculine pseudonyms: Andre Norton, Andrew North, and Allen Weston. Andre Norton was a legal name change.

==Recurring themes==
In most Norton books, whether science-fiction or fantasy, the plot takes place in the open countryside, with only short episodes in a city environment. Protagonists usually move about singly or in small groups, and in conflict situations they are more often scouts, spies or guerillas rather than regular soldiers in large military formations (A. Jakes, "Fictional Soldiers", p. 46, 81).

As could be expected of such characters, they tend to be resourceful and capable of taking independent initiative. In some books, protagonists are introduced already in possession of such characteristics. In others the protagonists (often young) are thrust into situations where they must develop them quickly, and invariably succeed at it.

Other planets in the books are usually earthlike places, where humans can live without special protection, and have extensive flora and fauna which are described in considerable detail and often have substantial bearing on the plot. Airless planets and ones with unbreathable atmospheres are sometimes mentioned in passing, but are virtually never the main scene of a Norton book.

A common theme in the books is the presence of sympathetically presented feudal and tribal cultures. In several books [[Indigenous peoples of the Americas|Native American]] tribes and their various analogues are given a chance to be more successful than they were in actual American history. Non-human creatures and cultures are usually presented sympathetically, with human protagonists sometimes supporting them against oppressive human authorities. In contrast, several books present technological and mechanised cultures as negative or even positively evil.

An important role in Norton's books is often given to animals - both ordinary terrestrial ones, such as cats (with whom she had much personal experience) and exotic fictional ones, whose characteristics are meticulously worked out. Many of Norton's animals are highly intelligent without being anthropomorphic, acting as virtually full partners to the human protagonists and in many books forming [[telepathic]] links with them.

A fictional board and counter game called 'Stars and Comets' appears in many Norton books. However, only fleeting hints of the rules are revealed. Counters styled as either 'stars' or 'comets' move across the board taking opponents' pieces. The rules of movement and capture seem to be very complex allowing hidden strategies and sudden reversals of fortune. It may be that there are both elements of skill and chance. Often, it is not the game being played itself which features, but references to it as an analogy of some plot situation. Its use helps to reinforce the alien culture being portrayed, and also gives the reader a sense of continuity between books portraying differing people and places.

''Star Man's Son'' ( AKA ''Day Break 2250''), the story of a young man's quest through a [[post-apocalyptic]] landscape, has been retold endlessly, in print and in film, though Norton never received proper recognition for developing this theme{{Fact|date=June 2008}}. She also developed the concept of traveling through alternate worlds, in ''The Cross Roads of Time'', another theme which she developed{{Fact|date=June 2008}}. In the ''Time Trader'' series, she explored Celtic Europe, and Ice Age America, synthesizing of anthropology, archeology, and hard science fiction, and this series must also be seen as a pivotal exploration of time travel, as a method of fictionally exploring lost cultures. The second book in the Time Trader series, ''Galactic Derelict'', features the use of recovered alien technology, to enable human travel to the stars, and this theme is also very recurrent, with definite features developed by Andre Norton.

Taranet: /* Novels */

It can be difficult to find non-sexist books for young children. Picture books primarily have male characters. Books for older children often show girls as having stereotypical and negative qualities; for example, there might be a group of boys and girls as protagonists, but the female characters make mistakes, scream or cry in fright, require a lot of rescuing. This list is an attempt to set out some books that avoid common problems of sexist narrative.

We assume here that we would like to counteract sexist assumptions and training in boys as well as girls. For example, if boys only read books with male protagonists, while girls read books with male or female protagonists, this can be problematic.

Here are some suggested ways to categorize the books.

* "Strong female protagonist" means the book's major character is female and is active and effective, while the book doesn't have a lot of sexist stereotypes. Femminess should not indicate lack of being a strong character though it can delve into the stereotypical.

* "Mixed gender" means there are male and female characters, and there is at least one strong female character. Please make a note if there are also stereotypical and annoying female characters.

* "Male only" means a book with male only characters that is not overtly sexist. Now, especially in picture books, there are many, many books with only male characters. Let's try to list only the best, the most notable. Because, for boys or girls, a steady diet of books where the protagonist is male, teaches that in stories, only boys are important, and that the "default" character or hero is male. However, we would not want to miss out on, for example, '''Good Dog Carl''' just because the baby's gender is indeterminate and Carl is male.

==Picture books==
=== Strong female protagonists===

* '''Stellaluna'''
* '''Olivia''' series
* '''The Handy Girls Can Fix It''' by Mary Shwartz
* '''Megan's Dollhouse'''

=== Mixed gender, strong female character===

* '''Father Gander's Nursery Rhymes'''

=== Male only or primarily, or neutral gender, but not overtly sexist ===

* '''Harold and the Purple Crayon'''
* '''Good Dog Carl'''
* '''A Color of His Own''', '''Alexander and the Wind-Up Mouse''' by Leo Lionni (Often, good picture books with all male cast.)
* Polkabats and Octopus Slacks
* '''Pickles the Fire Cat''' Pickles is male. Mrs. Goodkind is a strong character.
* '''The Horse in Harry's Room''' and other Syd Hoff books.
* '''Rabbit and Hare Divide an Apple'''

* Ask

==Add other categories as needed==

== Books requiring explanation==
A category for problematic books that we might love and want to read to our children but which have sexist elements that should be explained. This category might be split off into a new page.

=== Picture books ===

=== Younger readers ===

* Pippi Longstocking. Obviously, strong female character. But, consider Annika.

=== Novels ===

* Most of the works of E. Nesbit. While they have wonderful groups of boys and girls working together, male (and female) characters frequently comment that "girls are like that" or "girls can't do that". Events often disprove their statements but the characters' sexism remains unexamined. Same for Edward Eager, Enid Blyton.

* Ditto for Beverly Cleary. While Ramona and Beezus are strong characters, they routinely encounter sexist attitudes from Henry Huggins, that are not contradicted.

* '''Farmer Boy''' by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Male protagonist, wonderful book, many gender divisions, Almanzo often pointing out that his sister Alice can't do X, Y, or Z because she is a girl; however, she often contradicts him or shows her own strengths in areas he knows nothing about.

* All the Little House books.
* Little Women
* Anne of Green Gables

* Cornelia Funke's pirate books (get titles) Strong female protagonist, dead mother raised by father/brothers. (this is a pervasive pattern, dead/sacrificing mother)
