Very cool, if true

I believe most of Robin McKinley’s work gets put in YA. Much of this is fine. When it comes to Deerskin, which has a horrible incestuous rape scene in it, this is not fine. I entirely agree that women’s sci fi and fantasy is often assumed to be for younger readers, which I suspect is because of the general devaluing of women’s work: it’s not “serious”, it’s for kids.
