I spent a lot of time last night after I heard, reading about Joanna Russ online, and pulling all her books off my shelf and stacking them next to my bed for rereading. Going to start with Souls, go on to When it Changed, and then go to We Who Are About To. I wish her essay on slash "Pornography By Women For Women, With Love," was online -- I think that the first time I ever heard of slash fiction was reading this essay in her book Magic Mommas, Trembling Sisters, Puritans & Perverts. I was blown away. Of course, it took over a decade for me to actually get start reading slash myself. I haven't seen any mention of her death on any of the ST coms I read; maybe I'll post a bit of a tribute myself. Someone on dreamwidth started a com to talk about her and discuss her work:
