Nicole Luiken Perhaps she means Judith Merkle Riley?

Lois Bujold Aha. I imagine that is the one. Still haven't read her, though.

Every time I read of another woman dying prematurely from one of the several female cancers, I am more in favor of proactive hysterectomies.

Ta, L.


Woman Who Weaves I did. This was the first book of hers I read. My mother is a librarian and kept in on the shelf in her library for me for close to a decade. When she culled it I was allowed to buy it at the book sale. (I've got it in hardcover now.)

Woman Who Weaves TNSTAFL. Remove the ovaries before they cause cancer and you increase the risk of heart disease.

Rhode PVD There's no "o" in her name, it's Judith Merkle Riley. And she was brilliant and sadly missed.

Adger Williams Riley, Judith Merkle (says the Library of Congress author file). She taught management and wrote historical novels. I must make like a mongooose and run-and-find-out.
