    Gender identity in CJ's Chanur series

    I found this to be a very interesting article.  CJ is always ahead of the curve.

    Agreed.  It was interesting indeed.

    This adds a whole new dimension to some of the earlier analyses of CJ's work that I've seen before now.  I'm thinking in particular of the essays in Ed Carmien's book, which iirc focus more on Cherryh's subversion of gender roles rather than actual questions of gender identity within a society.

    Bumping this thread to note another similar article that I've just come across that focuses on another dimension of Her writing.
