Woman's Viewpoint

www.brightempire.com/Evelyn.htm

Evelyn York, perhaps still best known as the inspiration for a story called "Paul," written by the man then known as Sharon Best, wrote the above for The Bright Empire back in 2005, about the time she contributed two chapters of a projected story about a superwoman named Katie. But she hasn't had anything new since "Fit for a Supergirl," which appeared last year. Maybe this year...

Evelyn's viewpoint is similar to that of Jordan Taylor, aka Ultragirl, whose work used to appear here as well as at my site; there's one story she began there, "The Popcorn War," that I've continued; and another. "Walking Tall," that I don't think I COULD continue. Jordan has retired from writing; I know why because I know who she really is and what she's doing these days, but my lips are sealed.

There have never been a lot of superwoman stories BY women, but perhaps we could all learn from Evelyn and Jordan and Lisa Binkley (With Lisa's permission, I recently posted her "Questlings," which had been in limbo for the last seven years.) Maybe we could attract more women fans and encourage more women writers to try their hands.

I may take a look at one of these authors stories in the future.

Always distinguish feminists(regardless of the gender maybe)from simply man-haters(spoken to myself).

Just came across this:

No indication that she has the slightest interest in superheroine fiction, but I suppose others who wore WW underwear as kids might.
