Joanna Russ is one of the most talented (as well as one of the most
extreme) feminist SF writers.  The one facet balances against the other
so that there is strongly differing critical opinions on her work.  The
works that I've read ("Alyx", "And Chaos Died" & "The Zanzibar Cat") were
both provocative & extremely well written, if a bit strident at times. 
People interested in feminist writing in general should check out some of
her non-SF critical essays (many are found in the books: "How to Suppress
Women's Writings" [1983] & "Magic Mommas, Trembling Sisters, Puritans
and Perverts: Feminist Essays [1985]).

[C] == Story Collection.
[YA] == The book is for young adults (however you define them).
