Devil to the Belt is an omnibus release from 2000 containing two science fiction novels by American writer C. J. Cherryh, Heavy Time (1991), and Hellburner (1992).
 They are set in Cherryh's Alliance-Union universe and are prequels to her Hugo Award–winning 1981 novel "Downbelow Station".
 Both of the included works were nominated for the Locus Award for Best Science Fiction Novel in their respective years of eligibility.
 The novels and the omnibus printing were published by Warner Books, with some editions bearing the "Questar Science Fiction" or "Warner Aspect" imprints.
 Cherryh self-published e-book editions of "Heavy Time" and "Hellburner" in 2009 at Closed Circle Publications.
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.
The Collected Short Fiction of C. J. Cherryh is a collection of science fiction and fantasy short stories, novelettes and novella written by the United States author C. J. Cherryh between 1977 and 2004.
 It was first published by DAW Books in 2004.
 This collection includes the contents of two previous Cherryh collections, Sunfall (1981) and Visible Light (1986), all of the stories from "Glass and Amber" (1987), stories originally published in other collections and magazines, and one story written specifically for this collection ("MasKs").
 Cherryh's 1978 Hugo Award winning story, "Cassandra" is also included.
The Merchanter novels are several loosely connected novels by science fiction and fantasy author C. J. Cherryh set in her Alliance-Union universe.
 These science fiction novels explore her merchanter subculture: the extended families that own and operate the ships that supply goods, transportation, news and trade to the various worlds and space stations in the human Earth, Alliance and Union space.
 The novels are related by a common setting and theme – a misfit (made so by circumstance) who finds his or her proper home – rather than plot and character; none of the books is a direct sequel of another in the conventional sense.
Five Science Fiction Novels is a 1952 anthology of five science fiction novellas edited by Martin Greenberg.
 The stories originally appeared in the magazines "Unknown" and "Astounding".
The Finisterre universe is a fictional universe created by American science fiction and fantasy author C. J. Cherryh.
 Currently, it comprises a series of two science fiction / horror novels written by Cherryh, "Rider at the Gate" (1995) and "Cloud's Rider" (1996), also known as The Rider Series.
 They were published by Warner Books in the US and Hodder & Stoughton in the United Kingdom.
 The series is about the descendants of lost colonists stranded many generations ago on the hostile planet of Finisterre.
 For continuity, the two novels should be read in publication sequence.
