March is Women’s History Month. Today we honor Octavia Butler. Octavia Butler was a science fiction author who was responsible for writing amazing novels such as Parable of the Talents, Kindred, and Fledging. In 1971 she won the Hugo and Nebula awards for her novella Bloodchild. Along with her impressive list of novels, she was recognized with a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship (AKA the genius grant) for her astonishing writing skills and career.
