Is it only me? Am i the only one who feels indifferent and unsatisfied that Octavia Butler made her female characters very strong and full of wisdom then made them so full of love, understanding, giving and sacrificial? I love her writing but after going on a binge a few years ago and reading 6 or 7 of her books i was depressed at her heroines continual willingness to be second fiddle or subservient for the greater good. Have not read her since and get a twinge in my gut when others praise her. Am I wrong? I welcome some advice to hep me figure this out.
