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.

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.
