Sorry for being a bit late putting this up. Tomorrow, May 2, US and Canada, digital versions of Ladies of Mandrigyn and Stranger at the Wedding will be downpriced to $1.99.
Two of I guess what you could call feminist fantasy, though I didn't think of either of them as that at the time. "Ladies" was primarily written about the Womens' Team at the dojo I trained at during the '70s - with suitable alterations and changes in characters, and adapting the whole thing to a fantasy tale. The feeling, the sense of the women training together, was what I wanted to capture, and I think I did. (I hope I did, anyway).
(I mentioned to someone recently that every woman in the dojo knew which men were jerks - you can't hide when you're out on the floor).
And as I think I've said before, "Stranger" is the fantasy novel I'd have written if I started out writing a Kate Hepburn/Spencer Tracy comedy.
