'''Janrae Frank''' was an American journalist, writer and editor known primarily for her work in [[science fiction]] and [[fantasy]]. She wrote extensively on the subject of women and feminism in speculative fiction.<br />
<br />
==Life and career==<br />
Her first published short story, ''Wolves of Nakesht'', appeared in the 1980 [[World Fantasy Award]]-winning anthology ''[[Amazons!]]''<ref name="world_fantasy_award">[http://www.worldfantasy.org/awards/1980.html World Fantasy Award for ''Amazons!'' (1980)] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120728144349/http://www.worldfantasy.org/awards/1980.html |date=2012-07-28 }}</ref> (edited by [[Jessica Amanda Salmonson]]). This story introduced her most famous character, Chimquar the Lionhawk, and featured what are arguably her central themes: gender ambiguity and women of martial puissance. Other contributions in this field include ''Women Warriors and Earth Mothers''<ref name="women_warriors">{{cite web|url=https://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/washingtonpost_historical/access/139072632.html?dids=139072632&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS&date=Oct%206,%201985&author=By%20Janrae%20Frank&pub=The%20Washington%20Post%20%20(1974-Current%20file)&edition=&startpage=BW10&desc=Women%20Warriors%20and%20Earth%20Mothers|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130201014546/http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/washingtonpost_historical/access/139072632.html?dids=139072632&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS&date=Oct+6,+1985&author=By+Janrae+Frank&pub=The+Washington+Post++(1974-Current+file)&edition=&startpage=BW10&desc=Women+Warriors+and+Earth+Mothers|url-status=dead|archive-date=February 1, 2013|title=Women Warriors and Earth Mothers|publisher=|accessdate=10 September 2016}}</ref> and ''New Eves: Science Fiction About the Extraordinary Women of Today and Tomorrow'',<ref name="new_eves">[[Locus (magazine)|''Locus'']] Magazine notes on ''New Eves''[http://www.locusmag.com/index/t279.html#A28703] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070125085742/http://www.locusmag.com/index/t279.html |date=2007-01-25 }}</ref> an anthology of stories which traced the contributions and history of women in science fiction from the 1920s on, decade by decade.
