Over at Torque Control, I've been posting about Gwyneth Jones' Bold as Love as the first in what will be a series of discussions of sf novels by women taking place over the course of this year. You can read a contextualising post about Bold as Love by the new editor of Vector, Shana Worthen, here, and my own four posts can be found here:

1. Context
2. Characters
3. Music
4. Utopia

And for another take on the series, she Sherryl Vint's review of the concluding volume, Rainbow Bridge.
