in fact, most people would be hard-pressed to name a prominent female science fiction writer. Thus, as it is behind the pen, women also tend to be underrepresented on the page. That is, for every Katniss Everdeen, there seem to have been a hundred Ender Wiggins before her. However, the fact that Katniss and Tris are now household names means that women are gaining more and more visibility in the genre, or at least in the young adult section of the bookstore.
