It's sad when a woman writing fantasy in the United States in the 1970s has less actual feminist cred than Sir Walter Scott. Judith Tarr 1970sactualfantasy Change image and share on social
Rawn did her own thing in her own way. She cast the female gaze on a genre heavy with all-male quest fellowships, trophy females, and the occasional Smurfette. Her world was male-dominated and highly patriarchal, but she populated it with notable numbers of well-drawn female characters. Judith Tarr castcharacterdominate share on social
I like going back in time and writing historical fantasy. I use some real historical characters as a background to give depth to the fantasy. And I throw my fictional characters into the midst of this, and, so far, it has turned out interesting. Judith Tarr backbackgroundcharacter share on social
