As much as I love C'mell, and Elaine, and Arabella, and the Lady
Panc Ashash, and Menerima who was also Virginie, I would have to
say that the Helen America story pretty much does in any claim
that Cordwainer Smith might have ever been a feminist.

I love him anyway, and used to sign my LJ posts "Uncle Voldie's
Littul Kitton" when I was feeling Bellatrixish.
