Elizabeth Bear:
I was recommended to read your books when I asked in a forum for favorite fantasy books that pass the Bechdel test. There were many good suggestions, including your works. Something I miss, being a fantasy fan, are realistic depictions of friendships between women but you have those aplenty. What about you - do you have favorite books that pass that test? Or at the least that appear to be populated by 50% or so women?

Oh, that's a great question! I'd recommend books by Fran Wilde, Amanda Downum, N.K.Jemisin, Max Gladstone, Nnedi Okorafor, and Caitlin R. Kiernan for that, I think!
