AnneTheWriterThe woman is a founding pioneer of the entire genre of #ScienceFiction. At the age of 20, while caring for little children and with a mostly absent husband, she wrote one of the most famous novels of all time, #Frankenstein. Meanwhile, your bio focuses on her marriage and how she published her late husband's writings (making it sound like she claimed his work as her own).
Thanks for undermining and ignoring the lady's achievements, guys. ( #Gutenberg is usually so much better with their posts.)
Suggestion:
EDIT YOUR POST to mention HER works and her position in #SciFi history more prominently. (Don't forget that you can edit posts here in Mastodon.)

Back to the Future Is Female! with Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, Pamela Sargent, Sheree Renée Thomas, and Lisa Yaszek
From Pulp Era pioneers to the radical innovators of the 1960s and ’70s, visionary women writers have been a transformative force in American science fiction. For Women’s History Month, acclaimed SF authors Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, Pamela Sargent, and Sheree Renée Thomas join Lisa Yaszek, editor of LOA’s The Future Is Female!, for a conversation about the writers who smashed the genre’s gender barrier to create worlds and works that remain revolutionary.
