Carolyn Janice Cherry (born September 1, 1942), better known by the pen name C. J. Cherryh, is an American writer of speculative fiction.
 She has written more than 60 books since the mid-1970s, including the Hugo Award-winning novels "Downbelow Station" (1981) and "Cyteen" (1988), both set in her Alliance-Union universe.
 She is known for "world building," depicting fictional realms with great realism supported by vast research in history, language, psychology, and archeology.
 Her series of fantasy novels set in the Alliance-Union universe, the Morgaine Stories, have sold in excess of 3 million copies.
Brothers of Earth is a 1976 science fiction novel by American writer C. J. Cherryh.
 It was the second of Cherryh's novels to be published, appearing after "Gate of Ivrel", although she had completed and submitted "Brothers of Earth" first.
 Donald A. Wollheim, the editor of DAW Books, decided that publishing "Gate of Ivrel" first would be more commercially desirable, so "Brothers of Earth" was delayed until the former was released.
In 1948, 10–15% of science fiction writers were female.
 Women's role in speculative fiction (including science fiction) has grown since then, and in 1999, women comprised 36% of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America's professional members. "
Frankenstein" (1818) by Mary Shelley has been called the first science fiction novel, although women wrote utopian novels even before that, with Margaret Cavendish publishing the first ("The Blazing World") in the seventeenth century.
 Early published fantasy was written by and for both genders.
 However, speculative fiction, with science fiction in particular, has traditionally been viewed as a male-oriented genre.
Gate of Ivrel is a 1976 science fiction novel written by C. J. Cherryh and was her first published work.
 It is the first of four books composing the Morgaine Stories, chronicling the deeds of Morgaine, a woman consumed by a mission of the utmost importance, and her chance-met companion, Nhi Vanye i Chya.

 It was originally serialized in "Analog Science Fiction and Fact" in 1976, and was the last "Dune" novel to be serialized before book publication.
 The novels "Dune Messiah" and "Children of Dune" were published in one volume by the Science Fiction Book Club in 2002 and the two were adapted into a well-received television miniseries entitled "Frank Herbert's Children of Dune" by the Sci-Fi Channel in 2003.
World SF is a loose term for international, or global, speculative fiction, predominantly from the non-Anglophone world.
 An early use of the term came with the establishment of "World SF", an association of SF professionals in 1976.
 According to the third edition of the Encyclopedia of Science Fiction, the term was partly revived by the author Lavie Tidhar, leading to the establishment of the "World SF Blog", which ran 2009-2013.
 Early on, the Filipino blogger Charles A. Tan became involved with the blog, contributing much of the original material - including interviews with authors, reviews and the occasional editorial, including the important "World SF: Our Possible Future" in 2012.
 Tan was himself twice nominated for the World Fantasy Award, for his own blog, "Bibliophile Stalker", and has edited several anthologies of Filipino speculative fiction.
