lizbee: (Star Trek: Tilly and Michael)
Star Trek tie-in novels have a gender problem.

Decade by decade, series by series, there has been a steady decline in the number of women writing Trek tie-ins. The percentage has dropped from a remarkable 60% in the 1980s to just 12% in the 2010s.

Read my deep dive into gender parity (or ... not) in Star Trek tie-in fiction at my blog. Complete with infographics, gratuitous Joanna Russ quotes, a digression into Star Wars tie-in novels, and the question: where did all the women go? And what can we, as fans, do about it?
