		She now works in three media: fiber art; gourd art; and drawings in ink and colored pencil; her work can be seen at the science fiction convention art shows.

		But we still cannot feel comfortable with the fact that she excludes people from her classroom because of their gender, so some of us have a hard time supporting her because in her drive to create a feminine discussion, she has done the same thing others did in the past to exclude women.

		She simply took to the place like a denizen: riding the energies, playing the dizzying riffle-shuffle of paradigms as though one of her own anthologies had come to life around her.
		She always chose precisely the stories that I would have chosen myself, often found stories I never would have known about without her help, and wrote introductory notes that were worth the price of the book all by themselves.
		She loved jazz, poetry, speaking out against injustice, people, good works and the passion of experiencing life; these were some of the things we had in common.

		She says that at the time, she simply didn’t consider same-sex relationships.
		She does, however, point out that the women of Chornyak Barren House clearly love each other.

	Feminist SFF & Utopia: Suzette Haden Elgin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		(Elgin is herself a linguist, so an interest in language runs through many of her works.) Only in the linguist class are women somewhat free to engage in professional endeavor (linguistics).
		Using the same device of secretly training people in new knowledge, the solution to hunger is spread throughout humanity and then revealed to Earth's leaders who (too late) try to stop it.
		Personally, I found the conclusion (?) to Earthsong: Native Tongue III very disappointing in that Elgin barely mentions laadan, abandons almost entirely the gender discussions that had played an important role in the first two novels, and drops the aliens entirely and the linguists after the first few chapters.

	Dani Zweig's Belated Reviews PS#16: Suzette Haden Elgin and the "Ozark" Trilogy
		She's a linguist, and one of her non-sf projects is the development of 'Laadan', a women's language.
		The premise is ridiculous, and Elgin has a great deal of fun with it -- and readers are invited to do likewise: Early in the twenty-first century, twelve families of Ozark mountain people, dismayed by what the world was coming to, took off for the stars and founded their own traditional society.
		In order to respond to this challenge, in order to investigate the Twelve Families in search of the culprits, (and because her family is driving her up a wall, and a change of scenery would be welcome,) young Responsible of Brightwater sets out on a Quest, to track down the miscreants.

		A morpheme is a meaninful sequence in a language which cannot be divided into any smaller meaningful units; it may or may not be a word.
		For instance in Navajo, the verb sidá, which is translated into English as ‘she, he, it is sitting’ or ‘the two of them are sitting’, is a Navajo past tense form.
		From the Navajo point of view, to be sitting is a completed action by one who has stopped moving, and hence is an event in the past.

	The Ozark Trilogy (Suzette Haden Elgin)
		The worlds Elgin invents are creative and really interesting in the way they evolve from Ozark culture and language.
		The author does an excellent job of keeping her worldbuilding from being hokey, and she clearly has some knowledge of and respect for Appalachian culture.
		Elgin's facility with language keeps these books from sounding like 80% of all the fantasy novels you've read (which all seem, linguistically, to be taking place in Southern California in the 80's).

		Aging women, on the other hand, are perceived as undesirable whiny nuisances that nobody wants to look at or spend time with — and that image gets attached about the time a woman looks older than forty.
		When the media profiles an old woman who is still perceived as beautiful — Sophia Loren, for example — the emphasis is always on how she manages not to look like an elderly woman.
		We have to say of old women who look their age, "Look at that woman, how beautiful she is!" We have to learn to say "What lovely wrinkles and lines she has....
