<p>year</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Year of the Unicorn&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; is a 1965 fantasy novel by [[Andre Norton]], in the [[High Hallack]] / [[Witch World]] series. <br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;Year of the Unicorn&#039;&#039; is described in wikipedia as &quot;the first time in American publishing history that a young woman was the primary protagonist in a fantasy book, a genre previously thought to be only of interest to boys/men.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;&quot;Andre Norton&quot; entry, [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Andre_Norton&amp;oldid=418219001 visited 2011/03/19], Wikipedia.&lt;/ref&gt; Arguably, &#039;&#039;[[Jirel of Joiry]]&#039;&#039; is an earlier protagonist, but not in a novel; &#039;&#039;[[Podkayne of Mars]]&#039;&#039; is science fiction. Still, this seems unlikely to be quite accurate; for instance, [[Dorothy]] in &#039;&#039;[[The Wizard of Oz]]&#039;&#039; is clearly &quot;the primary protagonist in a fantasy book&quot;. So, to the extent true, this must be a fairly specific definition of fantasy: perhaps, trade fantasy aimed at a YA/adult audience?<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> [[category:1965 publications]]<br /> [[category:Novels]]<br /> [[category:Works of fantasy]]<br /> [[category:Works featuring female protagonists]]<br /> [[category:Works by title]]</div>
