Nice to see C. L. Moore so far up. She was amazing, IMHO, though she did do a lot of collaborative writing with her husband, Henry Kuttner. I've read a few of her books.
I read somewhere that Margaret Atwood didn't like the label of "Science Fiction Writer." Mores the pity...
I don't think I've read anything of her's, but I'm pleased with myself about how many of these authors I have read.
As for Margaret Atwood not liking being called an SF writer - too freaking bad. SF may not be the only thing she writes, but the books she's best known for all have either science fiction or fantasy elements.
