Okay, here's a provisional reading list - based on awards given in the 1970s or for award-winning books published in the 1970s. (And yes, I also have a listing of short fiction with the same criteria.) Of course, there's a list to be made of books (etc) which didn't win awards but are significant. But not today. And I'm only up to M on the films...

And I can't believe that I forgot to mention Naomi Mitchison! - Solution Three came out in 1975 and Memoirs of a Spacewoman was reprinted in the NEL SF Masters series in 1976, plus I think (would have to delve into the collected vols) a number of her short stories were published during the decade.

Yes, she was on the written down list and I was relying on memory. I'm running through those Women's Press grey spines in my head.

Thanks!
