Yes, I am attending the World Science Fiction Convention which was to be in Wellington New Zealand, but which has gone online for obvious reasons.
I have 3 items on the programme:
a Reading, a Panel and a Kaffeklatch.
If you are also attending,
you will find me at these times for the above events:

Date: Wednesday, 29 July

Place: Reading Room 2 (Programming)
Panel:
Event description:
Nevertheless, She Persisted:
The Explosion of the Heroine in the past 50 Years
Protaganists in SF and fantasy used to be primary male. Heinlein’s
juveniles, for example, although featuring a strong female secondary
character, had male leads. This began to change in the late
1960s, with books like Rite of Passage, and now non-male protagonists
are common.
The panel looks at the trend, discusses its implications,
and talks about some of their favorites.
