Description:
I'm a lesbian computer geek (more about me), and I've been reading science fiction since the fourth grade. When I came out in 1979, I looked for science fiction that reflected my life as a lesbian, and there simply wasn't much available (The Female Man, Amazons!, Tomoe Gozen). As an adult, I've checked the women's bookstores in the various cities I've inhabited, but none have had a decent science fiction section. I 've looked for lists like this on the web and the ones I've found haven't been as helpful to me as I'd like, either because they don't distinguish between lesbians and gay men, or mix fantasy and horror with the science fiction. So, I decided to put my collection online to benefit anyone else out there who is looking for books of this nature to read. The books on this list are books that I've encountered by chance, not because I thought or knew they had lesbian content. The vast majority are regular science fiction books from mainstream presses that happen to have lesbian content. I do not usually read lesbian science fiction books from independent presses, but I've provided links to some in the Links section. This list is by no means exhaustive, and you are welcome to submit suggestions (click the Contact link below). When making a suggestion, remember that this list is focused on science fiction, not fantasy or horror.
