Tag needed

[msmemory_archive]

I am finally going to get back to cataloging my library using LibraryThing. But I need a good tag for the concept of women in sf -- pilots, space marines, etc. "Women protagonists in military sf" is way way too long. "Feminist sf" isn't what I mean. I need a tag to lump together Kris Longknife and many of the works of Elizabeth Moon and some of the Skolian books and suchlike.

Suggestions, dear readers?

So, when dealing with male and female forms of words (not that I recommend this most of the time), a "female protagonist" is often called a "heroine."

Therefore:
Science Fiction -- Heroines
This would be somewhat befuddled by any anti-heroines, or any other female protagonist who isn't properly described as a "heroine."

To imply "military," which you mentioned in passing:
Science Fiction -- Military Heroines
or
Science Fiction -- Heroines -- Military

I'm still at the point that I catalog my science fiction and fantasy by author (Asimov, Pratchett, Lackey, and McKinley each get nearly a shelf or more) and by "the rest of it is on that shelf there." The fact that I have science fiction and fantasy on the same shelf also says something about my collection (sigh).

p.s. Yes, I was once a cataloger. No, I'm not opening up Big Red to give you suggestions, and none of my suggestions would probably pass muster on WorldCat. Cataloging terms are for use. Every term its users, and every user their terms. A catalog is a growing organism. :-)
