Women in Science Fiction Symposium Issue - Khatru (1975)
The "Women in Science Fiction" symposium, initiated by Jeffrey D. Smith, was a seven-month conversation about the position of women, as fans, writers and characters, in the historically male-dominated world of science fiction. It was conducted by letter and published in a double-issue (3&4) of the fanzine Khatru in November 1975. Apart from Smith, the participants were Suzy McKee Charnas, Samuel R. Delany, Ursula K. Le Guin, Vonda N. McIntyre, Raylyn Moore, Joanna Russ, James Tiptree, Jr. (then believed by the other participants to be male), Luise White, Kate Wilhelm, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, and Virginia Kidd.
For the 10th Corflu convention in 1993, the symposium was reprinted with additional commentary from some of the original panelists as well as material by new participants Mog Decarnin, Karen Joy Fowler, Jeanne Gomoll, Jane Hawkins, Gwyneth Jones and Pat Murphy.
