I am exactly that lazy

When someone talks about the wave of female authors in the 1970s, whose names should come up? Off the top of my head, there's Octavia Butler, Pat Cadigan, Suzy McKee Charnas, C. J. Cherryh, Jo Clayton, Phyllis Eisenstein, Mary Gentle, Gwyneth Jones, Elizabeth A. Lynn, Vonda McIntyre, Patricia A. McKillip, Pat Murphy, Marta Randall, Jessica Amanda Salmonson, Pamela Sargent, Joan Slonczewski, Sydney J. Van Scyoc, Lisa Tuttle, Joan Vinge, Cherry Wilder and Connie Willis. Who am I forgetting?

[Here's a What that I forgot: I mean female fantasy and science fiction authors]

Lynn Abbey, Eleanor Arnason, Octavia Butler, Moyra Caldecott, Jaygee Carr, Joy Chant, Suzy McKee Charnas, C. J. Cherryh, Jo Clayton, Candas Jane Dorsey, Diane Duane, Phyllis Eisenstein, Cynthia Felice, Sheila Finch, Sally Gearhart, Mary Gentle, Dian Girard, Eileen Gunn, Monica Hughes, Diana Wynne Jones, Gwyneth Jones, Leigh Kennedy, Lee Killough, Nancy Kress, Katherine Kurtz, Tanith Lee, Megan Lindholm, Elizabeth A.

Tanith Lee is likely 60s too I imagine, if horror is included there.

Actually, the only thing Lee published in the sixties (1968) was "Eustace," which I reprinted in Horrible Beginnings. So, yeah, she'd be sixties/

That's all? Ok. Guess she has gone crazypants fast since the 70s then. :)
