"I am a feminist," Elizabeth Hand says proudly in this video featuring female science fiction and fantasy authors.
In celebration of the strides women have made in a genre that does not always welcome diversity, Hand joins other prominent women in the field, such as Ellen Datlow, Patricia C. Wrede, and N. K. Jemison, who speak about being women writers, writing female characters, and the women role models to whom they look up.
